Fulham v Spurs Preview

Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham are looking to leapfrog Aston Villa into fourth place with a second Premier League victory in a row at Craven Cottage against Fulham on Saturday afternoon.

Spurs are still in the midst of a battle with Aston Villa and Manchester United for a spot in the top four and qualification for the UEFA Champions League next season. The 2023/24 football season is close to its conclusion, and we are now edging closer to finding out the fates of all 20 Premier League teams. Tottenham look set for European football, but which competition? This remains to be seen.

Ange Postecoglou now faces their second away league game in a row, as they will now make the short trip across to West London to face a Fulham side led by Portuguese Head Coach Marco Silva at Craven Cottage. This crucial game is set to take place on Saturday, 16th March 2024, in what will be a 17:30 kick-off in the evening.

The most recent game in the top flight for Spurs saw them travel to Birmingham to face Unai Emery’s Aston Villa at Villa Park. In the end, it was to be a comfortable and emphatic victory that afternoon for the Lilywhites, who won 4 – 0 thanks to goals from James Maddison (50’), Brennan Johnson (53’), Son Heung-Min (90+1’) and Timo Werner (90+4’).

Despite this victory in B6, Tottenham Hotspur still find themselves in 5th place in the Premier League table with 53 points accumulated from their 27 games in the English top flight to date. The North London side do have the advantage over Villa in the fight for fourth, not only with their win, but also because of Spurs’ game in hand.

If Spurs take all three points against Fulham on Saturday, they could rise up the table to fourth and leapfrog Aston Villa into the top four. This would rely on not only Tottenham winning, but also Villa losing or drawing their game away at the London Stadium against David Moyes’ West Ham United earlier that day.

As for the Cottagers, if they get all three points against their North London counterparts, Silva’s side would remain in 12th place, but they would be just a point behind Chelsea with Mauricio Pochettino’s Blues not playing this weekend as a result of their FA Cup Quarter Final tie against Championship club Leicester City on Sunday 17th March 2024.

Whilst Spurs were emphatic 4 – 0 winners against Champions League qualification rivals Aston Villa at Villa Park last time out, Fulham’s most recent Premier League match was against Wolves at Molineux. It was a game that the West London side lost 2 – 1, with the home side taking a two goal lead through Rayan Ait-Nouri (52’) and a Tom Cairney own goal (67’) before Alex Iwobi got a goal back to halve the deficit very deep into second half stoppage time (90+8’).

The most recent competitive game that was played between Fulham and Tottenham Hotspur took place at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday, 23rd October 2023, where the Lilywhites won 2 – 0. The goals that day for Postecoglou’s team came courtesy of Son Heung-Min (36’) and James Maddison (54’).

Overall, these two London clubs have played against each other competitively on no less than 104 occasions over the years, and it is Spurs with the most wins with 55 wins compared to just 19 for Fulham over the years. There have been 30 draws between these two teams to date.

Excitement and anticipation are building rapidly ahead of what is set to be a crucial game in the Premier League between Fulham and Tottenham Hotspur at Craven Cottage on Saturday, 16th March 2024, in a 17:30 kick-off in West London.
