"Spurs deployed a 3-5-2 formation against Arsenal, but despite Igor Tudor's preference for high pressing, his side were pinned back for large periods. Tudor's team spent the vast majority of the match in their own half, allowing Arsenal 60% possession. The midfield trio of Yves Bissouma, Connor Gallagher and Pape Sarr provided a layer of added security in the North London Derby."
"Against a Fulham side on an inconsistent run, Spurs may look to set up more aggressively. A 3-4-2-1 more similar to Tudor's preferred setup is expected on Sunday, with a front three tasked with pressing high. Spurs struggled to build from the back against Arsenal due to a lack of progressive passers."
Tottenham travels to Craven Cottage to face Fulham on Sunday at 2:00pm, seeking their first Premier League victory of 2026 following a heavy 4-1 defeat to Arsenal. With only a four-point buffer above the relegation zone, wins are critical. Interim head coach Igor Tudor, in his second match, faces pressure to improve results. Fulham, currently 10th in the league, recently defeated Sunderland 3-1 but have shown inconsistent form with two wins and four losses in their last six matches. Tudor is expected to shift from the 3-5-2 used against Arsenal to a more aggressive 3-4-2-1 formation, emphasizing high pressing and allowing greater attacking freedom, though player fitness concerns may limit tactical intensity.
