Tottenham will be desperate to pick up three points this evening (Monday) when they face Fulham in the Premier League. After going 2-0 up, Spurs fell to a 4-2 defeat against Manchester City on Thursday night, a third loss in four Premier League games for Antonio Conte's side.
The Lilywhites are struggling for form, and a win is vital as they face sixth-placed Fulham. Victory for Marco's Silva side will see them leapfrog Tottenham into fifth place.
Conte will be hoping for a win to put pressure on fourth-place Manchester United after they lost to Arsenal on Sunday evening. However, Spurs fans will have to wait longer than anticipated to a potential turnaround in form following a delay to this evening's kick off.
