Fulham also come into this game in good form, having gone unbeaten in their last five league outings.
There is the potential for a stalemate but Tottenham’s free-flowing form at the moment should see them overcome their London rivals.
Jose Mourinho’s men have scored at least four goals in their last two games and they will be hoping for another similar result.

Fulham Form and Stats
Fulham have really turned their season around and now sit just three points adrift of Newcastle and Brighton with strong hopes of climbing out of the relegation zone if they keep up their form.
Their remarkable run has seen them lose just three of the last 15 games. Their issue has been the number of draws, as they have finished with a share of the points in 10 of the last 15 matches.
They recorded a crucial win over bottom-placed Sheffield United with Ademola Lookman scoring the only goal of the game. However, Fulham have a poor run against the London sides.
Their recent draw with Palace last time out means Fulham haven’t beaten any London teams in their last 21 attempts.
