Spursvs.Fulham

The Cottagers are capable of going unbeaten in eight successive Premier League London derbies for the first time ever, but they were slaughtered 4-1 at home to Wolverhampton Wanderers last weekend.

Meanwhile, Spurs have lost seven of their 16 Premier League London derbies under the wing of Ange Postecoglou, and the Lilywhites return to domestic duty after conceding a last-gasp equaliser in Thursday's 2-2 Europa League draw with Roma.

Here, Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at the head-to-head record and previous meetings between the two sides.

Head-to-head record

Previous meetings: 105

Spurs wins: 55

Draws: 30

Fulham wins: 20

A satisfying head-to-head record to look at - at least until Sunday's fixture is done and dusted - the previous meetings, Tottenham Hotspur wins, Fulham wins and draws columns are all multiples of fives after 105 competitive clashes.

Tottenham unsurprisingly boast the most successes with 55 under their belts, while Fulham have only beaten the Lilywhites 20 times down the years, and another 30 encounters have ended all square - including their maiden meeting in the Southern League in 1903.

One of those 20 Fulham victories came as recently as March 2024, though, as Marco Silva masterminded a terrific 3-0 triumph over Tottenham in the top flight, the second of three Cottagers wins during Ange Postecoglou's debut campaign.

That routine victory marked a second straight home win for the Cottagers over Spurs, who also fell to their foes' superiority on penalties in the second round of that year's EFL Cup, although they came up trumps 2-0 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in October 2023.

Developing a penchant for home victories in this particular London derby, Tottenham have beaten Fulham four times in their last five matches at their headquarters, and they have not suffered defeat to the Cottagers on their own patch since a Dimitar Berbatov-inflicted 1-0 loss at White Hart Lane in 2013.

In fact, between December 2013 and January 2023, Tottenham won eight of their nine matches with Fulham in all competitions, the one minor aberration being a 1-1 top-flight stalemate at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in January 2021.

Away from the Premier League, one of Fulham's most emphatic victories over Tottenham came in an FA Cup fourth-round tie in January 2011, where Mark Hughes led the Cottagers to a 4-0 thumping of Harry Redknapp's side.

Lilywhites legends also dominate the individual scoring records in this fixture, as Cliff Jones scored an unrivalled 13 goals in clashes between Spurs and Fulham, while Harry Kane and Jimmy Greaves both netted eight apiece.
