Fulham FC v Tottenham Hotspur
Craven Cottage
Premier League Round 14
04-12-2013 @ 20.00 UK
How are the two teams form?
Fulham have still only won three of their thirteen Premier League matches this season, and yesterday the club board lost patience with Martin Jol and sacked him. Meanwhile, Tottenham started well this season but have not been able to keep up with the expectations. Rumours says that AVB might soon be history at White Hart Lane, and a defeat against Fulham on Wednesday can result in Tottenham sacking their manager. Spurs drew against Manchester United yesterday and is expected to take three points at Craven Cottage. That said, Fulham won the last meeting between the two sides.
What are the probable starting line-ups?
The homeside is without Matthew Bridge and Hugo Rodallega for the match while there are doubts about Brede Hangeland and Dimitar Berbatov. For Tottenham, Christian Eriksen and Danny Rose are out with injuries while there is doubt about Emannuel Adebayor.

Reither - Hughes - Amorebieta - Richardson

What to expect from this match?
It will be interesting to see if the change of manager has any effect on the Fulham team against a struggling Tottenham. On the other hand, AVB will do what he can to set up his players for a victory knowing his job is on the line if Spurs lose. Tottenham usually have a good take on Fulham, and I expect them to win this match. That said, with their current form anything can happen. Even though it is a cliché both teams have to come out and play some attacking football on Wednesday and especially Fulham needs the three points.
What are the odds?
SkyBet holds a 8/11 bet on Tottenham to win while BetVictor gives back 14/5. Should Fulham surprise and win, you should place your money at Bet365 with a 9/2 bet.
