Fulham v Tottenham Hotspur | Tuesday 29th August | 7.45pm | Craven Cottage | #FULTOT
The opposition
- Spurs installed Ange Postecoglou as their new boss this summer, and he’s enjoyed an impressive start in North London, following up an opening day draw at Brentford with consecutive 2-0 wins over Manchester United and Bournemouth.
- The big transfer news of the summer saw their all-time record scorer Harry Kane depart for Bayern Munich, but there are a number of new faces in their line-up, with Guglielmo Vicario, Destiny Udogie, Micky van de Ven and James Maddison all starting each of their three matches to date.
- Manor Solomon was another new arrival at the club, but he’s seen just two minutes of action so far. Postecoglou has said he’ll make changes at Craven Cottage, so our former winger will be one of those hoping for a chance from the off.
Fulham team news
Calvin Bassey serves his one game ban, but Tim Ream is back following his own suspension. Willian is not yet ready to return, while Marco Silva is serving a touchline ban having accrued three yellow cards.
Spurs team news
Our visitors’ starting XI is a difficult one to predict following Postecoglou’s comments about switching things up, but Rodrigo Bentancur, Bryan Gil, Ryan Sessegnon and Alfie Whiteman will all miss out through injury.

Programme
We hear from Head Coach Marco Silva and skipper Tom Cairney, as ever, with TC also selecting his ultimate five-a-side team based on players he has played against during his career. The question is, which goalkeeper – who he has chosen for his team – is he describing...?
“I’d want to have a ‘keeper who is good at playing out, and he’s the ultimate goalkeeper for that in the Premier League. You know he’d be as comfortable in midfield as he is in goal!”
