Tottenham Hotspur are back "home." Well, it's not home — White Hart Lane is gone, the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium won't be finished for at least another couple of months — so it's back to Wembley Stadium for Spurs' first non-away match of the season.
It's kind of nice to see Fulham back in the Premier League. With the exception of their recent stint in the Championship, they've been a fixture in the Premier League for as long as I've been a fan. They promoted last season with a fast-paced, technical style of football that was fun to watch but didn't have a whole lot of defense behind it. They've brought in 12 players, including Jean-Michael Seri, André-Frank Zambo Anguissa, Andre Schurrle, and Aleksandar Mitrovic. And then there's also teenage phenom Ryan Sessegnon.
This might be the perfect time for Spurs to play Fulham. They have a lot of new pieces, and they haven't had a lot of time to gel as a squad. I suspect once they get their sea legs they'll be a formidable opponent. Avoiding relegation is the very least of their goals this season.
Spurs will probably play a similar lineup to what they rolled out last week, though we might expect to see players like Toby Alderweireld, Kieran Trippier, and maybe even Danny Rose.
Two wins to start out a season that has been plagued by injuries, a lack of signings, and a host of tired World Cup heroes would be a nice way to start the season.
COYS!
#THFC: Lloris (C), Trippier, Alderweireld, Sanchez, Vertonghen, Davies, Dier, Eriksen, Lucas, Dele, Kane.
