Fulham vs Tottenham LIVE!
The FA Cup may be taking centre stage this weekend but a key clash in the race for fourth place is on in west London as Fulham host Spurs in the Premier League. Tottenham can leapfrog Aston Villa with a win having smashed Unai Emery’s side last weekend.
Ange Postecoglou’s side enjoy their game in hand today as they look to make it three wins in a row, and no team in the division has lost fewer away days than Spurs. Micky van de Ven is an injury absentee but Richarlison should be back in the squad.
The Cottagers are lodged in mid-table comfort with two wins and two defeats in their last four games, and this evening sees them attempt to end a 16-year wait to beat their London neighbours in the league. Follow all the action from Fulham vs Tottenham LIVE via Standard Sport’s match blog, with our reporter Dom Smith at the ground to provide expert analysis.

Fulham vs Tottenham prediction
15:32
Spurs may struggle against a team as well-organised as Fulham, particularly if they are happy to cede possession. Still, Postecoglou’s side did show signs of clicking going forward last time out.
Spurs to win 2-1.
Our prediction for the Spurs line-up
15:24
Predicted Tottenham XI: Vicario; Porro, Romero, Dragusin, Udogie; Bissouma, Sarr; Kulusevski, Maddison, Johnson; Son
Early Tottenham team news
15:18
Spurs are without Ryan Sessegnon, Fraser Forster and Manor Solomon.
Micky van de Ven came off injured at Villa and will miss the game, although his hamstring issue isn’t thought to be serious. Radu Dragusin will make his full debut as a result.
Richarlison, meanwhile, is likely to make the squad after returning to training during the week.
How we reckon the Cottagers could line up
15:11 , Marc Mayo
Predicted Fulham XI: Leno; Castagne, Tosin, Bassey, Robinson; Palhinha, Reed; Willian, Pereira, Iwobi; Muniz
Early Fulham team news
15:05 , Marc Mayo
Marco Silva confirmed on Friday that the Cottagers have every player fit and available for this game.
Raul Jimenez nonetheless faces a fight to oust Rodrigo Muniz from the striker’s berth on his return from injury.
Willian and Joao Palhinha are prime candidates for entering the line-up having been bench last time out.
