Tottenham Hotspur vs Fulham prediction, preview, team news and more

Tottenham Hotspur are winless in their last four games as they take on a resilient Fulham in a London derby on Wednesday.

Jose Mourinho's side played out a 1-1 draw against Wolverhampton Wanderers to fall to fifth on the Premier League table. After beating Arsenal 2-0 on home turf in the first week of December, Tottenham Hotspur haven't tasted victory in any of their subsequent four matches in the league.

They drew with Crystal Palace and then suffered two defeats on the trot against Liverpool and Leicester City. On Sunday, they led 1-0 in the first minute but then relinquished that lead in the 86th minute of the game to walk away with just a point.

Fulham have shown some signs of life of late and have drawn all of their last four games. They have been able to contain Liverpool, Brighton and Hove Albion, Newcastle United and Southampton and if their attackers can step up their game, they could climb out of the drop zone and move on to better things than a relegation battle.

Tottenham Hotspur have won 10 of their last 11 games against Fulham and the Cottagers have a poor record when it comes to Premier League London derbies. But Scott Parker will be hoping that his side can keep up their good work at the back and frustrate Jose Mourinho's side and possibly conjure up something to upset them.
