Below is the pick of the stats going into tomorrow’s match:
- Spurs have not lost this fixture in the last six meetings (1 draw and 5 wins), and not since a 1-0 defeat at White Hart Lane on St. Patrick’s Day in 2013, when Dimitar Berbatov scored the winner.
- Fulham have conceded in every encounter since, but tonight was only Spurs’ second clean sheet against the Cottagers in the last six meetings between the two.
- Going beyond that, Fulham have now lost 13 of the past 15 Premier League meetings between the two sides, (1 draw, 1 win, 13 losses).
- Spurs have now won their previous seven league fixtures at Craven Cottage, matching their run at the only other club they have beaten in seven consecutive top-flight away matches – Aston Villa (from 1950-56 and an ongoing run from 2012).
- Having won none of their last Premier League away London derbies in their last 10 attempts before the new year (D4, L6), Spurs have won their last two such fixtures (4-0 win at Crystal Palace on January 4th and tonight, with both matches their first London derby clean sheets all season).
- Having failed to score a first-half league goal since November 12th prior to last week (6 matches ago), Spurs’ last three league goals have all been in the first half, with all three coming in the final two minutes of the first half.
- Spurs’ last two league goals have come in first-half stoppage time (Emerson Royal vs City on Thursday, and Harry Kane tonight).
- Spurs have scored a first-half goal in 10 league matches (4 home, 6 away), compared to 11 in which they have failed to do so. They have only managed a first-half goal against the same opponent once this season (tonight’s opponents, Fulham – albeit they have only played the same opponents twice this season).
- Spurs have scored 13 goals in the first half of league matches (6 at home, 7 away), but have scored 27 second-half goals.
- Harry Kane now has eight goals in seven appearances against Fulham, including five goals in six league matches against them.
- Indeed, Kane now has 48 goals in London derbies, more than any other player to have ever participated in Premier League football.
