Why you should back Tottenham

Spurs have the clear attacking edge, and they have dominated their matches with Fulham. Tottenham have scored 18 goals while the Cottagers have scored eight. Three of Fulham’s goals came against last-place Sheffield United. Son Heung-Min, James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski and Richarlison give Tottenham a strong front, and Spurs lead the league in shots with 153. Son is tied for second in goals (six) and tied for third in shots on target (11).

Maddison and Kulusevski have two goals apiece and Richarlison has one to go with two assists. Maddison shares the league lead with five assists, and the newcomer will be eager to net his first goal at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Spurs have scored in 12 straight home matches, and they had scored at least twice in every EPL match before their 1-0 victory against Luton Town. New manager Ange Postecoglou can set an EPL record for points in a manager’s first nine games with a Spurs victory. See which team to pick here.

Why you should back Fulham

The Cottagers are actually the only team to beat Spurs this season, though they needed penalties to do it. The teams played to a 1-1 draw in a second-round League Cup match at the end of August, and Fulham prevailed on penalty kicks. They beat Norwich City 2-1 at the end of September to advance to the EFL Cup’s fourth round. That was one of three victories in their past five matches in all competitions. The Cottagers cruised past Sheffield United 3-1 in their last outing before the break.

Bobby Decordova-Reid and Willian, who scored against Sheffield United, and Carlos Vinicius are all capable scorers. Spurs have scored just six of their 18 goals in their home matches this season. The 1-0 victory against Luton Town also indicates Spurs could be coming back to Earth. They yielded 12 shots, but the bottom-dwellers put just two of those on target. USMNT players Tim Ream and Antonee Robinson help protect veteran goalkeeper Bernd Leno, who has a 76.7 save percentage. See which team to pick here.
