Overview
It all seemed over at the start of the season when Harry Kane left for Germany, but going into GW9, Spurs once again have the opportunity to go top of the Premier League should they claim 3 points at home to Fulham this evening.
Goals haven’t been an issue either since their England captain left. With nee captain Heung-Min Son scoring 6 already this campaign. The pressure is on the South Korean to deliver and with new singing James Maddison playing like he’s been at Tottenham for years, it’s not hard to see why this new Spurs era has taken off!
London derbies haven’t been kind to Fulham also, failing to win 20 of their last 21 away games against all London based outfits.
