October 23, (THEWILL) – North London side, Tottenham Hotspur, host Fulham on Monday evening, as they look to extend their strong start to the 2023/2024 season. Spurs have won six and drawn two of their opening eight games to sit fourth in the table heading into Monday night football.
After beginning last weekend on top, Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool have overtaken the Lilywhites heading into tonight’s kick off against Fulham at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Manager, Ange Postecoglou, will be hoping his side can continue their winning run and respond strongly to get back top spot.
Opponents, Fulham, have also made an encouraging start this season. The Cottagers have won three and drawn two of their opening eight fixtures and will provide a stern test for Tottenham. Key players like Willian, Vinicius and summer signing Alex Iwobi have helped Fulham adapt quickly to the challenges this season has brought.
Injury-wise, Tottenham have been boosted by the returns of Cristian Romero and Son Heung-min during the international break. However, Yves Bissouma is suspended for the game as punishment for his red card. For Fulham, Adama Traore is still a few days away from returning from injury and defender, Tosin Adarabioyo, remains sidelined after groin surgery.
Spurs are strong favourites for the game after their free-flowing performances in recent weeks. Players like Son and summer signing James Maddison have excelled under Postecoglou. However, Fulham have proven difficult to beat so far and Marco Silva’s side will be hopeful of getting something from their trip to north London.
