Fulham vs Tottenham Hotspur – Predicted Lineup and team news
Published on Sunday, 1 March 2026 at 6:09 pm
Craven Cottage is bracing for a tantalising London derby on Sunday, 1 March 2026, as Fulham welcome Tottenham Hotspur with the tantalising prospect of a historic Premier League double firmly in their sights. Kick-off is at 14:00 GMT, with Sky Sports Premier League providing live coverage from 13:30 GMT.
Marco Silva’s side climbed back into the top half of the table after a swaggering 3-1 defeat of Sunderland last weekend, a result that restored belief in their attacking prowess. That victory was tempered by a significant setback: forward Kevin suffered a metatarsal injury on Wearside and faces surgery plus several weeks on the sidelines. In his absence, Oscar Bobb is poised to deputise in the final third.
The blow is cushioned by defensive reinforcements. Antonee Robinson has returned to team training and is pressing for a start at left-back, while Bernd Leno is set to continue in goal behind a likely back four of Kenny Tete, Joachim Andersen, Calvin Bassey and, if Robinson is not risked from the outset, Ryan Sessegnon.
Midfield balance will rest with Sander Berge and Alex Iwobi, whose ball-winning and distribution have underpinned Fulham’s recent surge. Creative duties are expected to fall to Harry Wilson and Emile Smith Rowe, tasked with supplying Raúl Jiménez. The Mexican striker, fresh from a brace against Sunderland, has opened the scoring in over half of his Premier League appearances in which he has found the net.
Fulham’s recent record against Spurs adds spice: three wins in the last four league meetings, including a victory at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium earlier this campaign. A second triumph on Sunday would secure only the second league double over their north-London neighbours in the club’s history. Silva’s men have developed a habit of finishing strongly—12 of their last 14 league goals have arrived after half-time—so the visitors have been warned.
Fulham Predicted XI: Leno; Tete, Andersen, Bassey, Sessegnon; Berge, Iwobi; Wilson, Smith Rowe, Bobb; Jiménez.
