Tottenham have been made to wait all weekend to get back to Premier League action. They take on Fulham in what should be a thrilling game of Monday Night Football.

Ange Postecoglou will now be seeing this fixture as a must-win. He now has the opportunity to go two points ahead of North London rivals at the top of the Premier League table.

This will be a huge statement from Spurs, and would really cement themselves as one of the front runners in the league this season.

For that reason – he’ll need his finest XI out. Here’s how we think they’ll line up.

Tottenham Predicted Lineup vs Fulham

Here’s how we think Postecoglou will line up for the Premier League fixture.

A few very big decisions for the gaffer to make.

Yves Bissouma is suspended, which means a rare start under the Aussie for Hojbjerg looks necessary.

The other big call is who leads the line. Richarlison has struggled to find the back of the net at Spurs as we know, but with Brennan Johnson a potential doubt – Richy may have to step up again.

This would push Son out to the left, despite the South Korean often operating as a central striker this season.

This is definitely the strongest lineup possible. Come on you Spurs!

Tottenham vs Fulham Prediction

As mentioned previously, Tottenham have an insane opportunity to seize a two-point lead at the top of the Premier League.

This should really drive the players on to get the win. It won’t be easy – Fulham are a competent side, but given Spurs’ track record this season, we can only see this game ending one way.

Prediction: Tottenham Hotspur 2 – 0 Fulham
