Our prediction for this Premier League match:
Instead of Aston Villa, Tottenham will face Fulham on Wednesday evening, and, as a result, Jose Mourinho will have to make tactical changes. Spurs recorded an expected 5-0 win over Marine in the FA Cup last 64, and they are seen as favourites to beat their local rivals in the Premier League as well. Mourinho's men aim to keep their title hopes alive, and given Fulham’s anything but good away record, we believe that home win should be considered.
Lo Celso has yet to recover from a muscle injury, while fellow midfielder Hojbjerg should be fit to face the Cottagers. Both Kane and Son return to the starting XI after the duo was rested in the FA Cup clash. Scott Parker has a full squad to choose from, but seeing that Tottenham are a real force to be reckoned with at home, we do not believe that the newcomers are going to grab something from the match.
Highlighted Player (Harry Kane):
Widely regarded as one of England’s best strikers at the moment, Harry Kane enjoyed a meteoric rise at Tottenham Hotspur, scoring 21 Premier League goals during the 2014/2015 campaign to be voted PFA Young Player of the Year.
The highly rated striker went on to surpass that achievement the following season as he helped Tottenham Hotspur mount a serious title challenge for the first time in club’s recent history and he made seamless transition to international football. Kane scored four goals in his first ten appearances for England to prove he was here to stay and at the same time established himself as a first choice striker in Roy Hodgson’s squad ahead of the Euro 2016 finals.
Kane is a modern striker, who is extremely dangerous in the opposition box, but it was some outstanding goals from distance as well as link-up play with teammates that earned him an excellent reputation in world football. Kane is expected to lead both Tottenham and England in years to come, that is if he can resist the lure of top European clubs that continue to cast admiring glances his way.
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.
