Tottenham can return to the top of the Premier League when they host Fulham tonight.
Spurs have made their best-ever start to a Premier League season and have won six and drawn two of their opening eight games so far under Ange Postecoglou.
Victory over Fulham would see Tottenham go two points clear of Manchester City and Arsenal in the early standings, ahead of Friday night’s trip to Crystal Palace.
Fulham are 13th having three wins and three defeats from their first eight league games, but Marco Silva’s side are the only team to have beaten Spurs this season after their victory in the second round of the Carabao Cup.
Fulham have not beaten Tottenham in the Premier League since 2013, however. Here’s everything you need to know before tonight’s London derby clash.
