FA Cup: Fulham vs Tottenham preview
Championship side Fulham host Premier League outfit Tottenham at Craven Cottage on Sunday in a London Derby in the last sixteen round of the FA Cup. Tottenham have won five of the last six meetings between the two sides, with Fulham collecting a 1-0 victory at White Hart Lane back in 2013. The latest FA Cup meeting between these two teams was won 4-0 by Fulham in 2011. Fulham have won four of their last five matches in all competitions, including the 4-1 victory over Hull City in the previous round of the FA Cup. They are still fighting to get into the promotion playoff spots in the Championship, but manager Slavisa Jokanovic would surely be happy to get some more FA Cup glory. There are no injury concerns for the home side, but Ryan Fredericks is suspended. Tottenham have lost two consecutive matches in all competitions, they got beaten 1-0 by Gent in the Europa League after last weekend's 2-0 Premier League defeat at Liverpool. They have not lost back-to-back matches since November and never lost three in a row this season. Danny Rose is injured, while Erik Lamela and Harry Kane will probably be left out in order to recover from their injury problems. Probable line-ups: Fulham: Button - Odoi, Ream, Madl, Sessegnon - McDonald, Johansen - Aluko, Cairney, Ayite - Martin Tottenham: Vorm - Trippier, Dier, Alderweireld, Davies - Winks, Wanyama - Sissoko, Dembele, Son Heung-Min - Janssen My prediction: Fulham to win 1-0. Here are the odds for the match at Bet365: Fulham win - 4.33 Draw - 3.70 Tottenham win - 1.91
