Fulham vs Tottenham Hotspur Prediction
Both Fulham and Tottenham Hotspur lost their starting strikers this summer. In Fulham's case, Aleksandar Mitrovic scored 14 goals in the league for them last campaign, but the 28-year old moved to Al Hilal for a fee of nearly €53 million.
Fulham have not splashed the cash though; centre-back Calvin Bassey has joined from Ajax for €22.5 million, while former Wolverhampton Wanderers attackers Raul Jimenez and Adama Traore have joined the club as well. There is a feeling that Fulham might need a bit more though; especially someone to replace Mitrovic's output.
Tottenham Hotspur, on the other hand, have enjoyed an excellent start to the Ange era. The Australian has them playing some really good football, and despite the club selling arguably their best ever player in Harry Kane, Tottenham Hotspur look well equipped under Postecoglou's leadership.
The club has not shied away from spending money, signing the likes of James Maddison, Micky van de Ven and Guglielmo Vicario. However, there could be more incomings, with Nottingham Forest winger Brennan Johnson heavily linked recently.
Tottenham Hotspur should emerge victorious here.
