Player insight
Harry Wilson has been impressed with Spurs this season, but says Fulham will head to North London with no fear.
“They’ve been great this year,” Wilson said. “The way that Ange has got them playing is great, and they’re showing a different side to themselves – going down to 10 men against Luton and managing to get the three points was big for them.
“But we also had a good win before the international break, so our confidence is high, we feel like we’re in a good position. For us going there, we’ll be making sure we’re not just there to play a part in the game, but to make sure we get the win.”
Flags
Following consultation with safety and security experts, clubs and external stakeholders, the Premier League has determined that Israeli and Palestinian flags should not be permitted to be displayed at matches for the foreseeable future.
