last updated Monday 26th September 2005, 8:05 AM
Big match facts from BBCSport FULHAM and Spurs are both hoping to avoid a fourth successive defeat in London Premiership derbies. The Cottagers lost 3-1 at Chelsea last April and have already been beaten 4-1 at Arsenal, and 1-2 home to West Ham this season. Similarly, Spurs were beaten at Charlton and Arsenal at the end of last season, and have already been defeated by 0-2 at home to Chelsea this term. Fulham are the only club Tottenham have beaten in 13 all-London Premier League duels.
  • Chris Coleman will be hoping the Cottagers' 100th League and Cup game since he was permanently appointed as manager will not turn out to be the clubs 300th all-time defeat in top flight football.
  • The only top tier victory Fulham have recorded at Tottenham was 0-3 on 30 August 2003 when Barry Hayles was on target twice and Luis Boa Morte once. The Cottagers only other League victory at the Lane was 0-2 in the former League - Division Two on 10 April 1948.

TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR against Fulham is the Monday night match, and the second London Premiership derby of the weekend. Spurs must hit back after being unceremoniously dumped out of the Carling Cup by Grimsby, while Grimsby's fellow League Two neighbours Lincoln fought all the way in a nine-goal extra time thriller, before succumbing to Fulham at Craven Cottage.
  • Spurs have not won since taking six points out of six from the opening two matches at Portsmouth, and home to Middlesbrough. They've drawn three of the last four League games, scored just one goal in the quartet, lost one their six League engagements this season and are hoping to score at the Lane after two blanks in front of the home fans.
  • Tottenham's last three home League fixtures with Fulham have resulted in a draw, a defeat and a victory in that order. The most recent last October, gave Spurs a rare London derby triumph, thanks to goals in the last 12 minutes from substitutes Fredi Kanoute and Robbie Keane.
