Tottenham Hotspur will visit Fulham on Sunday at 2:00 PM. They come into the match after a heavy 4-1 loss to Arsenal. Interim coach Igor Tudor aims for Spurs to secure their first Premier League win of 2026. With only a four-point lead over the relegation zone, getting wins is becoming crucial. Fulham, on the other hand, recently had a strong 3-1 victory over Sunderland and currently sits 10th in the league, still in the hunt for European qualification. However, their recent form has been mixed, with two wins and four losses in their last six league games. Here’s the latest on Tottenham’s team news and predicted lineup for the match against Fulham.
Tottenham Predicted Lineup and Team News Ahead of Fulham Clash
How Tottenham Have Lined Up
Spurs used a 3-5-2 formation against Arsenal, but they struggled to execute Igor Tudor’s high-press strategy and spent much of the game in their own half, with Arsenal dominating 60% possession. The midfield trio of Yves Bissouma, Connor Gallagher, and Pape Sarr aimed to add security during the derby. Against an erratic Fulham team, Spurs might adopt a more aggressive setup.
A 3-4-2-1 formation, which aligns more closely with Tudor’s preferred style, is anticipated on Sunday, featuring a front three designed for high pressing. Spurs had issues building from the back in the previous match due to limited progressive passing options. Tudor might resolve this by allowing Xavi Simons more freedom to drop deeper and play a crucial role in build-up play, especially after Arsenal restricted Djed Spence and Archie Gray’s contributions.
Tudor has mentioned that while he wants to implement a more intense style, the condition of recovering players may limit his approach. He stated, “It’s fantastic to go to press up… [but] if you have too many problems back, then you need to think about the style.” Thus, updates on the Tottenham squad are particularly important.
Injury Updates and Suspension News
Cristian Romero is serving the third game of a four-match suspension due to his red card against Manchester United.
There are no new injury concerns. Tudor noted a “small problem for Micky van de Ven, but he will be available.”
Pedro Porro and Kevin Danso are expected to return. Tudor confirmed, “Yes, that’s right.”
Dejan Kulusevski and Destiny Udogie are both in recovery and likely won’t be available for this match, with Tudor saying, “I know the days, but not exactly now.”
Wilson Odobert, Ben Davies, Rodrigo Bentancur, Lucas Bergvall, James Maddison, and Mohamed Kudus remain sidelined.
