Match preview

Tottenham have enhanced their squad this summer and they can showcase that quality by defeating Fulham in a high-scoring London derby.

Antonio Conte has hinted at a few changes after Wednesday's demanding 1-1 draw at West Ham, but he has such depth in his ranks now that whoever he sends out should still perform to a high level.

In any case, Spurs' spine should remain strong with Hugo Lloris, Eric Dier and Harry Kane unlikely to be among those rested, and the introduction of Richarlison may only increase the Lilywhites' attacking capabilities.

Fulham, who added Willian and Dan James to their forward ranks on deadline day, will look to fight fire with fire by continuing to get the best out of Aleksandar Mitrovic.

The Serbian striker was once regarded as a Championship specialist, but he now looks perfectly at home in the top flight and should trouble Tottenham's defence.

Fulham have scored in all but one of their league games this term, but they may struggle to keep Spurs at bay at the other end and are likely to suffer their second league defeat of the campaign.

Key stat

Fulham have scored in four of five league matches this season.
