Tottenham vs Fulham prediction, lineups, odds and bet builder tips for the London Derby on the Monday Night Football
After being awarded his second consecutive manager of the month award, Ange Postecoglou will be hopeful that he and his Spurs side can regain their spot at the top of the Premier League table by picking up all three points against the Cottagers.
The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium plays host to a fixture matching up newly rejuvenated Spurs side, who currently sit at 4th in the table, and their visitors further down the table in 13th.
Postecoglou appears to have cracked the code with Tottenham as of late and a win here will prove invaluable to the side as they seek their first Premier League title, ending a trophy drought that exists since 2008.
Tottenham vs Fulham Prediction
Spurs have been on a roll and have yet to lose a league game so far this season (six wins, two draws). Their only loss so far this season came at the hands of the visitors when Spurs travelled to Craven Cottage for their EFL Cup tie, seeing them bundle out of the tournament early.
With this fixture returning to the Tottenham Hotspur stadium, confidence can be restored as the Spurs have won all three games here this season, including wins over the likes of Liverpool and Manchester United.
Fulham arrive here with some mediocre form. They come off the back of a 3-1 win against newly promoted Sheffield United, but it is safe to say that their opponents here are of a higher class and won’t find it as easy-going.
The newly acquired James Maddison has been the perfect fit for the Spurs so far this season, picking up seven goal contributions in the league (two goals, five assists).
When matched up with current player of the month, Heung-min Son, they have turned into somewhat of a dynamic duo. The South Korean has netted six times in eight Premier League games, proving to be a lethal weapon for Tottenham Hotspur.
Fulham have appeared to struggle away from home this season, especially against opposition in the Top 4. This in-form pair, who were absent for the majority of their previous head-to-head, will require Fulham’s full attention if they are hoping to take anything away from this tie.

Tottenham’s form as of late justifies heavy favouritism for this tie at shorter than 1/2. The visitors arrive best priced at 6/1 on bet365 to cause an upset here, with a draw at 4/1 on Sky Bet.
Tottenham vs Fulham Bet Builder Tips
Tottenham to Win
Heung-Min Son to Score Anytime
Destiny Udogie to be Carded
Tottenham to win is a fairly self-explanatory first part to the Bet Builder, with Postecoglou’s in-form Spurs targeting an eighth win from their first 10 matches. Since the start of the Premier League in 1992/93, 28 teams have accumulated 20 points or more after eight games (Spurs have 20) - 11 of those have gone on to lift the title.
The second part of this Monday Night Football Bet Builder is Heung-Min Son to score anytime. The South Korean has six league goals to his name (only Haaland and Salah have more). In Spurs’ last home match against Liverpool, Son had an expected goals (xG) probability of 0.86.
And finally, the second biggest card culprit for Spurs (behind the suspended Yves Bissouma) forms the third and final part of our Tottenham vs Fulham Bet Builder.
Destiny Udogie, capped for the first time by Italy this month, has received three yellow cards in just 673 minutes of league action so far this season. There are only four defenders with more than three yellow cards – Aaron Hickey, Emerson, Lucas Digne and Nelson Semedo.
