Tottenham vs Fulham

26/12- With both the teams at a position that is not that stable and are locked with other teams with the same number of points as well as only a small difference between them and the teams below, both would be in search of the elusive victory. Looking at the past record between both teams Fulham proves to be the dominating force and a look at the matches played in Tottenham’s backyard proves the fact even more, out of the 9 matches played there the home team has just won thrice while Fulham have been on the winning side 4 times and twp matches have been drawn. But then a second look at the points table this season quickly reveals that Fulham have been struggling for form and points and lie on the 17th spot just above the relegation zone, that too just because of a better goal difference. Looking at the recent matches, Tottenham put a valiant effort only to end on the losing side against the league leaders, Arsenal in an away tie last week. However, the form of the players looks pretty good as prior to the defeat to Arsenal the team managed to beat good opponents like Portsmouth and Manchester City in away and home encounters respectively. The players that have inspired a comeback after a weak start to the season have been striker Dempsey and the efforts of Kamara. With the home crowd behind them, the spurs would like to get the full points of this match. Fulham have been lucky to feature out of the relegation zone but their recent matches and the game displayed would suggest that luck cannot save them for a longer time, with just a single victory and 5 losses in the last 10 matches they have nothing to showcase this season. Even a point at this stage would be a blessing. Prediction: 1-0, Tottenham
