Spurs in relegation peril: Tudor faces old foe

Tottenham Hotspur manager Igor Tudor faces a crucial match at Craven Cottage against Fulham, as the club confronts the real possibility of its first-ever Premier League relegation. Spurs have experienced a significant downturn in form, securing only two victories since the beginning of November. This dismal run includes three consecutive losses and an overall nine-match winless streak.

Currently sitting in sixth place, Tottenham now holds a precarious four-point advantage over the bottom three teams. Their recent struggles highlight the urgency of securing points to avoid a historic drop from the top flight.

Fulham, despite two month-long slumps this season, has shown resilience. Last week's win at Sunderland offers a glimmer of hope that their dip in form has concluded. They possess a favorable upcoming schedule, potentially allowing them to vie for European competition places.

The match is further complicated by injury concerns for both sides. Tottenham is beginning to see some players return, while Fulham faces the absence of Kevin for an extended period. Despite the challenges, Tudor may have tactical surprises for this derby.
