Tottenham starting XI vs Fulham: one change and wild Cristian Romero decision

Tottenham have won six and drawn their first eight of the season and will return to the top of the league table if they can win.

Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou is looking to maintain the brilliant start to the season that has seen them win six and two draw two of their first eight games.

The Spurs manager has been forced into a change though- with the suspension of Yves Bissouma who was sent off in the win against Luton before the international break.

Brennan Johnson has trained for the past two weeks and returns to the bench as he looks to get going after his injury against Arsenal.

Fulham have just one win in 17 league games against Spurs but they did knock them out of the League Cup earlier this season they can be dangerous if not pressed straight away.

They will also have an enforced change to the line-up, with defender Issa Diop ruled out because of a foot problem.

Tottenham’s only dropped points so far came in their two London derbies: 2-2 draws at Brentford and Arsenal so this should really be a straightforward win for the home side based on form with Fulham’s three wins coming against Everton, Luton Town and Sheffield United. So with everything at stake, this is the team manager Ange Postecoglou has put out to go all out and get the win.
