Tottenham Hotspur Stadium will host a London derby on Sunday when Fulham FC comes to town. It should be a tightly contested affair and hard fought battle. So with that in mind, let’s preview this match, from the Spurs point of view.
Most specifically, we’ll look at the first team that Spurs boss Ange Postecoglu could select for this one. The Craven Cottagers are a tough out, so he’ll need to go with a strong team.
