Fulham
An impressive performance at the Stadium of Light has just pushed Fulham back up the Premier League standings and Marco Silva will be urging his players to make sure they finish this season with as much consistency as possible. His own future with the club remains uncertain, but Silva will know there is an opportunity for a special season with Fulham still involved in the FA Cup and chasing a return to European Football.
The three points last weekend means Fulham are 10th in the Premier League table and only 3 points behind Brentford in the top seven, which is almost certainly going to be a position that offers European Football. Improving the 7-2-4 record at Craven Cottage feels important for Fulham if they are going to finish in those places as they prepare for this London derby.
Fulham followed a FA Cup win over Middlesbrough by losing 4 of the next 5 Premier League games played, but back to back wins over Stoke City and Sunderland will have just lifted the spirits. The side had won 3 in a row at Craven Cottage in all competitions before conceding two late goals to fall to a 1-2 loss at the hands of Everton most recently in this part of West London.
Antonee Robinson, Sasa Lukic, Samuel Chukwueze and Kevin are all doubts for this weekend.
Tottenham Hotspur
Up until last weekend, even the most pessimistic Tottenham Hotspur fan must have felt the team had enough quality to avoid relegation, but there is a growing alarm around the club. Replacing Thomas Frank and his Premier League experience with someone like Igor Tudor has increased the concern and the 1-4 thumping at the hands of Arsenal will have made this a very difficult week for all associated with the club.
You'd have these hypotheticals offered to fans- would you accept relegation if your greatest rival failed to win the title? Unfortunately for Tottenham Hotspur fans, relegation in a season when Arsenal are crowned Champions is potentially going to be the ringing true in May with just 4 points between Spurs and the bottom three. The side have a 5-4-4 away record where they have scored 20 goals and conceded 19, but a lot of those positive results came much earlier in the campaign.
Tottenham Hotspur's latest loss makes it 3 straight defeats in the Premier League and the team have now picked up 4 points from a possible 27 in the Division. They have won 1 of the last 8 away Premier League games and Tottenham Hotspur have lost half of those matches.
Wilson Odobert is the latest long-term injury at Tottenham Hotspur and the squad is missing a host of first team players, which is contributing to the poor form. Pedro Porro and Kevin Danso are expected to be available this weekend, but Cristian Romero continues to serve a suspension and Destiny Udogie needs a couple more weeks to return.
Head to Head
Back in November, Fulham scored twice inside the opening six minutes and hung on for a 1-2 win in North London.
They have also beaten Tottenham Hotspur in each of the last two meetings at Craven Cottage.
Prediction
Earlier this month you could sense the huge amount of pressure on Thomas Frank as manager of Tottenham Hotspur which was largely coming down from the stands.
However, even at that stage you never really saw the team slipping into a relegation battle.
Things have changed with Frank Sacked after the 1-2 home loss to Newcastle United and the 1-4 defeat to Arsenal along with improving form put together by West Ham United means there are just 4 points between Tottenham Hotspur and the bottom three.
Relegation would be a massive blow for the club, but the interim appointment of Igor Tudor has done little to lift the feeling around the club. His inexperience of the Division is a problem, while it would be a tough task for any manager with the amount of injuries in the Tottenham Hotspur squad.
A couple of players are returning this weekend, but it is very hard to trust this Spurs team who look to be out of confidence and under a huge amount of pressure.
This feels like a big game, but Fulham are rightly going into the fixture as favourites having picked up 8 more points than Tottenham Hotspur over the course of the season and winning consecutive fixtures.
Hosting is an advantage and Fulham had been in fine form at home before conceding two late goals in a 1-2 defeat to Everton most recently at Craven Cottage.
Marco Silva's team won at Sunderland last weekend and they look to have more options all around to change the pattern of this fixture if they need to.
Fulham create chances and score plenty of goals when really getting going and they have beaten Tottenham Hotspur twice in a row at home by 3-0 and 2-0 scores. They have also won in Tottenham Hotspur's new Stadium earlier this season and Fulham have all of the momentum to be worthy of backing at odds against, even if it still feels like an 'impossibility' that this Tottenham Hotspur squad end up dropping into the Championship.
