Fulham vs Tottenham LIVE: London rivals meet in one of the few Premier League games this weekend – kick-off time, team news and how to follow

Fulham are preparing for the visit of Tottenham this weekend in the Premier League, as the two London clubs face off.

This is one of the few top-flight games this weekend due to the FA Cup quarter-finals postponing matches across the country.

Tottenham They arrive in west London on the back of an excellent 4-0 win at Aston Villa, which has seen them reduce the gap to the top four.

A victory here for Ange Postecoglou''s men would briefly lift Spurs past Villa into the Champions League places.

Meanwhile, Fulham They are looking to bounce back from a 2-1 loss to Wolves and build on wins over Manchester United and Brighton.

The Cottagers have stayed comfortably in middle table this year and will look to beat Spurs for the second time after sealing victory in the Carabao Cup earlier in the season.

Fulham vs Tottenham: Spurs' revenge

Tottenham were knocked out of the Carabao Cup in August when they traveled to Craven Cottage and lost on penalties.

The match ended 1-1 before the hosts scored all of their spot kicks, while Davinson Sánchez missed his for Tottenham.

Of course, the defender is now gone and the Spurs have had a good year.

However, that was definitely a chance for Postecoglou to win a trophy, given that Liverpool won it with almost half of their first-team squad missing.
