Tottenham Hotspur will be keen to put aside their frustrations at West Ham United earlier this week when they welcome a Fulham side who have certainly improved since the last time they were in the Premier League. Antonio Conte admitted he was disappointed with his sides defending of Tomasz Soucek's equaliser which led to his side dropping two points.
Antonio Conte's side are the favourites at 19/40 with Betway for the clash at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium while Marco Silva's team are 11/2 to produce another shock result and a draw is 7/2. Spurs have taken 34 points from a possible 39 in their last 13 meetings against Fulham including 11 wins but both times they have dropped points have come in home games.
Spurs have started strongly this season picking up 11 points from a possible 15 with wins against Southampton, Wolves and Nottingham Forest as well as a hard-fought draw at Stamford Bridge which certainly had a lot of talking points. Under Conte, this Spurs side have easily transformed and have shown huge improvements in their mentality which has led to many tipping this side to break into the top two.
Meanwhile, Fulham have certainly silenced a few critics losing just one of their first five matches. Results against Liverpool, Brentford and Brighton & Hove Albion have certainly helped their case that they are no longer a yo-yo club. Even in their defeat at Arsenal they had the momentum of the match only to be snatched away by Gabriel Magalhaes' late winner. Silva's next task against Conte's Tottenham will perhaps be his toughest task yet as Fulham boss.

Player to watch
Harry Kane may well have had a disappointing time at West Ham but the striker will be keen to maintain his position as a Golden Boot contender. The England captain could only managed one shot on target from his four efforts but did set up Kehrer's own goal for some consolation. He has started strongly with four goals in August which is surprising considering his history with that month.
