Prediction: 2-1
Tottenham Hotspur
Craven Cottage will host Sunday’s London derby between Fulham and Tottenham. The two teams take on each other for the first time since April, 2014 and, no doubt, fans will enjoy watching the FA Cup clash. The Cottagers have been producing fine performances under Slavisa Jokanovic this season and they have been impressive at home ground in the 2016/2017 Championship campaign. Fulham are after their fourth consecutive win at their Craven Cottage and we predict that they will shock Mauro Pochettino’s troops in Sunday’s football match. The Spurs sit in second place in the Premier League standings after 25 rounds and seeing that they are still playing on three fronts, we would not be surprised if the White Hart Lane outfit suffer elimination in the fifth round of the FA Cup. Coach Mauro Pochettino is likely to mix the squad against Fulham and there is every chance summer signing Vincent Janssen will lead the line for the visitors.
Highlighted Player (Neeskens Kebano):
Despite the fact that he was born in France Neeskens Kebano represents Congo on the international stage. Kebano has 6 caps for France U20 team, but made his debut for the first team with Congo on 15 October, 2014. The right-footed midfielder scored on his debut and it has to be noted that Congo defeated Ivory Coast 4-3 back then. Kebano started his club career at Paris Saint-Germain, playing eight league games for les Parisiens in Ligue 1. After ending his loan spell with Caen he joined Charleroi in 2013 and he scored 36 goals in 77 league appearances for the Belgian outfit. Genk scouts spotted him during the 2014/2015 season and he moved to the fellow Belgian side in the summer of 2015. After spending one season at Genk, he signed a three-year contract with Fulham on 26 August, 2016. He made his Fulham debut the next day against Blackburn Rovers. Reports in England said that he terrorised Blackburn defence. His contract with the Cottagers expires on 30 June, 2019.
Highlighted Team (Tottenham Hotspur):
Tottenham Hotspur are a professional football club based in North London. Spurs host their rivals at White Hart Lane and the capacity of the stadium is 36,284. Tottenham won the Premier League (First Division) trophy in 1950/1951 and 1960/1961 and despite producing terrific displays in the 2015/2016 campaign Mauro Pochettino’s team eventually finished the season in third place in the standings. Tottenham’s bitter rivals are Arsenal, but Chelsea and West Ham United are regarded as the team’s fierce opponents as well. Spurs have won eight FA Cup trophies, with the team also lifting the 1962/1963 UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup title. Tottenham Hotspur hammered Atletico Madrid in the final of the competition back then (5-1). The likes of David Ginola, Sol Campbell, Teddy Sheringham, Jurgen Klinsmann, Gary Lineker, Luka Modric, Robbie Keane and Gareth Bale are star players that used to play for the White Hart Lane outfit in the past. The colour of Tottenham Hotspur’s home kit is white.
