Fulham – Tottenham FA: 19th February 2017

Sunday afternoon was played on “Craven Cottage” match Fulham – Tottenham in the FA Cup round five. Who goes further and reach the quarter final at Wembley dream. Tottenham it will be available and the defender Vertonghen, back after injury but will not rely on Kane.

Statistics say that Tottenham won just two of their last 5 games played without Vertonghen and Belgian is unlikely to play in this very important match. Tottenham has resulted in an important battle in Premier League Top 3 Pochettino and therefore will use more reserve players in this game. But qualification would be an important result.

Tottenham is in stall

Last matches were not at all convincing. From that afflicted with Wycombe 4-3 in the previous round of the Cup, Tottenham lost to Liverpool (0-2) and Gent (0-1) in the Champions League. Londoners appear on a downward slope and have a complicated schedule, which gives hope to the hosts. Fulham is a team capable in attack, with Aluko scorer in good shape. Note that Fulham’s matches rarely end with less than three goals scored.

Black and whites have 4 wins in their last 5 games and make use of their land very well. To get there, we had to eliminate Fulham Premier League teams and Hull felt the force Londoners. The hosts are no problems with the players, with Tomas Kalas Revnic defensive. Tottenham has not the blade and Rose, but no Kane, who was hit in Belgium and will not be risked. You get a balanced duel between a team on the rise in reserves and a grand Championship.

Spurs skilful in front of their opponents in the lower leagues

Direct Matches tell an interesting story, with Tottenham winning four of the last six duels Cup. The last 3 matches in all competitions they have returned all of the Spurs, who have a lot and a larger budget. Tottenham was qualified in 12 of the last 13 meetings with lower league teams in Cup, except calling themselves Leeds in 2012/2013 season.
