We travel across town to take on Spurs at their “state of the art” stadium
The game against Sunderland was a lot better, Raúl scored his goal at a time that he would “normally” have been substituted, even so I’m still not convinced he’ll be able to play for the full 90 minutes of each game until Muniz becomes available?
Chukwueze and Smith-Rowe coming on enable us to press even further, Chukwueze’s cross for Raúl was excellent, I’d start him against Spurs.
Iwobi and Berge in midfield worked really well, Iwobi enabled a far more attacking option than the suspended Lukić, I’d have them both starting on Saturday.
Spurs had a dreadful result against Arsenal last time out, 4-1 against your local rivals would always be a difficult result for their fans to except, so they will probably expect a big reaction against Fulham.
They also lost their Champions League game against PSG 5-3 despite taking the lead twice.
Their “home form” should give us some optimism as, so far, they’ve only won against Burnley, losses against Bournemouth, Villa and Chelsea and draws against Wolves and Man Utd.
Another point that may well be in our favour is that Marco appears to have “worked out” Thomas Frank, think back to the Brentford games last season “Harry the bee-keeper” and all that!
Our record, for the previous 8 games, against Spurs is so so, eve though we’ve played well against them, with only 1 win, 5 losses and 2 draws.
My squad would be…
