Fulham vs Tottenham
Premier League 2018/19
Venue: Craven Cottage
Date: Sunday, January 20, 2019
Kick-off time: 4pm GMT
Fulham and Tottenham meet in west London on Sunday with both sides needing a result for very different reasons.
Tottenham's 1-0 home defeat to Manchester United at Wembley last weekend has all but extinguished Spurs' faint title hopes - while losing Harry Kane in the process - and left Mauricio Pochettino's injury-plagued squad looking over their shoulders in the race for a top-four finish.
Fulham, meanwhile, and yet to reap the benefits of swapping Slavisa Jokanovic for Claudio Ranieri, and the 'Tinkerman' needs a win to boost the hosts' fight against relegation.

Score prediction: Fulham 1-1 Tottenham
Tottenham look like they are beginning to feel the strain in January, while 1-0 defeats to Chelsea and Manchester United in their last two games have left Spurs short of confidence - and players.
With Kane and Sissoko both missing on Sunday, Pochettino will be forced to shuffle his pack - and Fulham will sense a great chance to get a result.
The problem for the hosts is that their form is nothing to shout about either, with one win in their last five games and two defeats on the trot heading into Sunday's derby.
Spurs still have the quality to see off Fulham, but the key to getting the result will be taking their chances - a real problem against United.
