Live Updates: Tottenham Faces Fulham in Premier League Showdown

Tottenham Hotspur faces Fulham in a crucial Premier League match as both teams look to improve their standings. Historically, Spurs have been dominant against Fulham, winning eight out of their last nine meetings between 2013 and 2023, with only one draw. However, they are currently struggling, having gone winless in their last three encounters against Fulham, with two losses and one draw.

Recent Performance

Fulham has shown signs of resurgence, winning two of the last three matches against Tottenham. This is a significant improvement compared to their prior performance, in which they had only two victories in 23 encounters with Spurs, along with six draws and 15 losses.

Tottenham’s Derby Struggles

• Tottenham suffered a 1-0 defeat to Chelsea.
• They also lost 4-1 against Arsenal in their recent London derbies.

These losses mark a concerning trend for Spurs, who have not lost three consecutive games in the same campaign since September/October 2021.

Home and Away Statistics

In the current season, Tottenham has struggled uniquely at home. They rank lowest in terms of home performance, with only three wins and nine losses. They have accumulated just 12 points at home, which is troubling for a club of their stature.

• Tottenham has not lost ten home league games in a single calendar year since 2003.
• Fulham has the least number of away points in the Premier League this season, earning only one point.

Interestingly, both teams face challenges with their performances. While Spurs have struggled at home, Fulham has lost their last five away matches in the league, their longest streak since early 2019.

Goal Scoring and Expected Goals

This season, Tottenham has overperformed their expected goals (xG), scoring significantly more than predicted. They have netted 20 goals, exceeding their xG of 11.2 by almost nine goals. However, their performance against Arsenal recorded the lowest xG in a game since September 2021.

Player Highlights

Raúl Jiménez from Fulham had notable success against Spurs early in his career, contributing five goals in his first six matches. However, he has not scored or assisted in six consecutive games against them since then.

On the other hand, Spurs’ Richarlison has made an impact lately, scoring 16 goals in his last 22 Premier League starts. Despite his strong record against other teams, he remains goalless in eight matches played against Fulham.

This match promises to be an exciting showdown as both teams aim to break their negative trends. Tottenham will be aiming for redemption, while Fulham seeks to capitalize on their recent form.
