Below is the pick of the stats going into tomorrow’s match:

- Fulham have conceded in every encounter since, but Spurs themselves have only kept one clean sheet against the Cottagers in the last five meetings between the two.
- Going beyond that, Fulham have lost 12 of the past 14 Premier League meetings between the two sides, (1 draw, 1 win, 12 losses).
- Spurs have won their previous six league fixtures at Craven Cottage. The only club they have beaten in seven consecutive top-flight away matches is Aston Villa (from 1950-56 and an ongoing run from 2012) (via BBC Sport).
- However, Spurs have only won 1 away London derby in their last 11 attempts (D4, L6), with their 4-0 win at Crystal Palace on January 4th their first since a 1-0 win at Craven Cottage on March 4th 2021, exactly 22 months before the Selhurst Park victory.
