Fulham v Tottenham Hotspur, 3pm
You would have made a handsome profit so far this season by backing Fulham to draw every Premier League match. Mark Hughes’ team haven’t lost a single game and the only encounter that didn’t finish all square was a 2-1 win over Wolves. It hasn’t stopped Sky Bet offering 12/5 that this match yields a point apiece and it is easy to see the team sharing the spoils at Craven Cottage.
While Sparky has made the Cottagers hard to beat, there has been a problem scoring enough goals and it doesn’t help when all three of your main strikers are injured. Bobby Zamora and Moussa Dembele have recently joined Andy Johnson on the sidelines, with Clint Dempsey likely to deputise in attack once again. The American is 15/2 with Sky Bet to score first, while compatriot Eddie Johnson is a 9/1 chance.
Fulham are 2/1 with Paddy Power to win the match and they might benefit from Harry Redknapp having one eye on Wednesday’s trip to the San Siro in the Champions League. Any sort of result from that game would mean Spurs are in an excellent position to qualify from Group A and it will be interesting to see what team is selected for this match.
One player who is virtually certain to start is Rafael Van der Vaart, especially as the Dutchman is suspended for next week’s big match. The midfielder played a key role in helping Spurs beat Aston Villa a fortnight ago and he is on offer at 13/2 (Sporting Bet) to score the first goal. Tottenham are the 7/5 favourites (Sporting Bet) to claim another three points, something that they managed at Stoke at the beginning of the season.
