Sat 15 March 2025 7:15, UK

Fulham and Tottenham Hotspur will be looking to go into the March international break on a winning note when they clash in Sunday’s Premier League encounter at Craven Cottage.

Fulham will be keen to bounce back in the Premier League after losing their last game, falling to a 2-1 loss at Brighton &a🌜mp; Hove A🍬lbion.

Marco Silva’s charges are currently 10th🍸 in the table, just five points off the top five, so a European finish is🥂 still within bounds.
