Fulham will attempt to claim their first league win over Tottenham Hotspur in 10 years when the two sides face off on Monday evening.

The Cottagers have made a steady start to the 2023-24 campaign, collecting 11 points from their opening eight league matches.

After beating Sheffield United 3-1 in their final game before the international break, Fulham will have the chance to record back-to-back victories in Monday's contest.

Fulham are set to face Spurs for the second time in two months after prevailing on penalties in August's EFL Cup meeting.

While they may have got the better of Tottenham on that occasion, Fulham tend to struggle in league meetings with Spurs.

The Cottagers have failed to win any of their last eight Premier League matches against the North London club (D1, L7).

Their most recent league win took place in March 2013 when Dimitar Berbatov scored the winning goal in a 1-0 victory at White Hart Lane.

That result represents Fulham's solitary top-flight win against Tottenham in their past 17 head-to-head matches (D3, L13), while their last three league meetings have all ended in defeat.

Fulham boss Marco Silva is also looking for his first top-flight victory over Spurs after drawing three and losing four of his previous seven league encounters.

Silva will have to make at least one change to his starting lineup, with central defender Issa Diop ruled out due to a foot injury.

The visitors, who occupy 13th place in the table, are also without the injured trio of Tosin Adarabioyo, Kenny Tete and Adama Traore. body check tags ::
