Tottenham Hotspur vs Fulham preview: Spurs looking to overcome home woes

Tottenham Hotspur face Fulham in the Premier League at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday.

Spurs suffered a 4-1 North London derby defeat at Arsenal last time out. They were also battered 5-3 at Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League on Wednesday as they seek to return to winning ways in another London derby.

Fulham triumphed 1-0 over Sunderland in their last Premier League outing.

Match preview

After winning eight of their nine Premier League games against Fulham between 2013 and 2023 (D1), Tottenham are now winless in their last three against the Cottagers (D1 L2).

Fulham have won two of their last three Premier League games against Spurs (D1), as many as they had in their previous 23 against them (D6 L15).

The Lilywhites have lost 1-0 against Chelsea and 4-1 against Arsenal in their last two league London derbies. They’ve not lost three in a row in the same campaign since September/October 2021 (a run of four).

Of the 17 ever-present sides across the two seasons, none have won fewer home games (3), lost more home games (9) or earned fewer home points (12) in 2025 than Tottenham Hotspur. They haven’t lost 10 home league games in a single calendar year since 2003 (10).

No side has earned fewer away points than Marco Silva’s side in the Premier League this season (1), while only Wolves (1) have earned fewer at home than Spurs (5). The Cottagers have lost their last five on the road in the Premier League, last having a longer run between January and April 2019 (7).

Tottenham have conceded seven goals in their three Premier League games in November, as many as they had in their nine games across August, September and October combined.

Having been involved in five goals in his first six Premier League games against Spurs (4 goals, 1 assist), Fulham’s Raúl Jiménez hasn’t scored or assisted in any of his last six against them.
