Our prediction for this Premier League match:
There will be fireworks when Tottenham and Fulham face each other in the London derby on Sunday afternoon. Spurs cruised past Man City (4-0) in their last league match and they are likely to adopt yet another attack-oriented strategy against Fulham. Ange Postecoglou shuffled his pack in the Europa League game against Roma, but the former Celtic boss is going to field the best possible side in the local derby.
Rodrigo Bentacur is suspended, while the likes of Guglielmo Vicario, Cristian Romero, Mikey Moore, Richarlison, and Micky van de Ven miss out with injuries. The Cottagers, on the other hand, struggled defensively in a 4-1 loss to Wolverhampton. Fulham face yet another uphill task at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and given Spurs’ brilliant display in the crushing of Man City, home win should definitely be considered. Midfielder Harrison Reed should be the only absentee in the away team.
Highlighted Player (Heung-min Son):
Over the years Son Heung-Min has established himself as one of the best Asian footballers. Son is a Tottenham Hotspur first-team regular and he played a very important role in Mauro Pochettino’s team in the 2017/2018 Premier League campaign, scoring 12 goals, while making 37 appearances in the process.
The South Korean footballer, who is well known for his speed and a very powerful shot, was born in Chuncheo on 8 July 1992 and he began his youth career at FC Seoul. In 2008 he moved to Hamburger SV, but he made his senior debut for the Bundesliga club two years later. In 2013 he signed a deal with fellow German side Bayer Leverkusen and he scored 21 goals in 62 appearances in the Bundesliga for the BayArena outfit.
In 2015 he signed a five-year contract with Spurs for a fee of £22 million. Son Heung-min made his South Korea debut in a friendly against Syria in 2010.
Highlighted Team (Fulham):
Fulham are a club from London that play in the Premier League. The capital club dropped to the English second tier at the end of the 2013/2014 Premier League campaign after failing to impress in the elite competition, but managed to return in season 2018/2019.
Fulham were founded in 1879 and they play their home matches at Craven Cottage. Fulham are the oldest-established club from the English capital to have played in the top flight.
Fulham finished the 2008/2009 Premier League campaign in seventh place in the standings and that is considered the team’s biggest success, speaking of their participation in the Premier League.
The Cottagers played in the Europa League twice and they did well to reach the FA Cup final in 1975, but they were beaten by their local rivals West Ham United in the title game (0-2). Chelsea are regarded as Fulham’s bitter rivals as well and the two teams take on each other in the North London derby.
