Fulham Faces Tottenham: Premier League Preview, Team News, Stats & Head-to-Head
Fulham will meet Tottenham Hotspur in a significant Premier League clash, aiming to secure a league double over Tottenham for only the second time in their history. The previous instance was during the 2003-04 season. Fulham has shown marked improvement against Tottenham recently, winning three of their last four encounters, after struggling in prior matchups.
Recent Performance Overview
Fulham’s recent form against Spurs is noteworthy. They defeated Tottenham at Craven Cottage by a combined score of 5-0 in their last two meetings there. Over the last four Premier League games against Tottenham, Fulham has one draw and three victories. In contrast, Fulham has only managed four wins in their last 18 matches played in March, although two of these victories came against Tottenham.
Tottenham’s Struggles
Tottenham Hotspur is currently facing a dismal spell. They have not recorded a victory in any of their nine matches in 2026, compiling four draws and five losses. This poor run marks only the fourth time in the club’s history they have gone winless through January and February. Previous instances occurred in 1935, 1994, and 1999.
- Current Streak: Winless in nine Premier League matches (D4, L5).
- Formation Issues: In their recent 4-1 defeat against Arsenal, Spurs employed a 3-5-2 formation but have only secured one victory when using this setup in the last ten league games.
Key Player Insights
Fulham’s Raúl Jiménez has been a crucial player for the team. He has opened the scoring in 52.5% of the Premier League matches he has scored in, achieving this feat in four of the last eleven games. Only James Beattie has a higher percentage among players with over 50 goals.
In contrast, Tottenham’s recent coaching change under Igor Tudor has not been promising. They lost their first match under his management against Arsenal, something only one other Spurs manager has experienced. Tudor is the first in Premier League history to concede four or more goals in each of his first two matches.
Looking Ahead: Team News and Stat Highlights
- Fulham’s Goals: 12 of their 14 goals since Christmas were scored in the second half.
- First Half Struggles: Fulham has gone scoreless in the first half of their last seven matches, only achieving a goal through an opponent’s own goal.
- Tottenham’s Record: Only once has the club gone ten matches without victory, previously occurring from January to March 1994.
As Fulham prepares to face Tottenham, both teams will look to capitalize on the others’ vulnerabilities. This match could have significant ramifications for their respective Premier League campaigns.
