Craving a win at Craven Cottage!

Thanks to Andy Park for this picture

Sunday is March 1st, which heralds the arrival of meteorological Spring. Spurs will be playing their tenth Premier League game of 2026 and are still seeking their first league win of this calendar year. We travel to Craven Cottage, the home of Fulham for our tenth London derby match of the season. We've only won three of the nine played so far, and that last win was at Selhurst Park on December 28th. We are certainly craving a win at Craven Cottage this week! The game kicks off at 2pm and will be televised by SKY.

One glimmer of hope for Spurs is that Pedro Porro and Kevin Danso both returned to training this week. Igor Tudor did state earlier in the week that they would be available for this game, and confirmed the fact in an early press conference yesterday (Thursday). Their presence will be much needed. Of necessity, I am posting this preview before the official team news, but Danso's inclusion would allow Joao Palhinha to return to the midfield where he plays best for Tottenham. Pedro Porro's return would potentially release Archie Gray to the midfield. What a baptism Archie (20 on 19th March) has had since his arrival in July 2024. He has already made 45 Premier League appearances, only 13 of which have been as substitute.

Any team offers formidable opposition to Spurs in their present predicament. Fulham are no exception. Our home defeat to Fulham in November was our second consecutive loss to "The Cottagers" and the third in four Premier League games. We haven't beaten Fulham since October 2023 (at home), and when you consider our overall record against the West London club, the recent statistics have been poor. We even lost a rare second round League Cup game on penalties at Craven Cottage in August, 2023.

Fulham hadn't managed an away league win this season until they came to The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium where they had a two-goal lead inside six minutes. It was their first away win against us since March 2013 when Martin Jol's side gained a "revenge win" against his former club.

Last year Fulham won back-to-back Premier League home games against Spurs for the first time in 19 years. They will be looking for a third consecutive win against us since 2003-04 when they had a league "double" in the 2003-04 season and a third win in October 2004. They are now unbeaten in four top-flight meetings with Tottenham Hotspur (W3, D1), having lost 14 of the previous 16 clashes prior to this run.

The home game this season was the first time that Spurs had conceded two or more goals in the opening six minutes of a home game in the Premier League.

Raul Jimenez and Harry Wilson are Fulham's joint top scorers in the league with 8 goals apiece. Jimenez is 35 in May. Once with Wolves, he suffered that horrific head injury in November 2020 playing at The Emirates. Jimenez was signed by Fulham in July 2023 and has been in good form of late. Last week, he scored from a penalty against Sunderland. It was his thirteenth penalty in the Premier League and he hasn't missed any of them. He is the first player to score that many without missing. The previous record was eleven consecutive penalties scored without missing held jointly by Yaya Toure and Cole Palmer. Jimenez still plays for Mexico and has 123 senior caps and 45 international goals.

Harry Wilson will be 29 on 22nd March and learned his trade with Liverpool. This is his fifth season with Fulham. He often scores vital and spectacular goals. Wilson has 67 Welsh caps and has scored 17 international goals, including a hat-trick (2 penalties) in November against North Macedonia.

Fulham's one January signing was Norway winger Oscar Bobb from Manchester City for £27m. Bobb, 22, has agreed a five-and-a-half-year contract at Craven Cottage and wears the number 14 shirt.

Fulham had a run of 6 games unbeaten (including the FA Cup) between 22nd December and 10th January which included a home win against Chelsea when both Jimenez and Wilson scored. They've lost four of the six league matches played since then, but have reached the fifth round of the FA Cup and will host Southampton next weekend. We'll be taking a break! (Although we play Palace at home on Thursday night in the last of the forthcoming midweek programme.)

We are in a situation where we have to monitor, then match, or do better than the results of Nottingham Forest and West Ham. Forest are at Brighton on Sunday. West Ham play at Anfield tomorrow (Saturday). We would all have a spring in our step if we managed a win at The Cottage, but I fear the best we can hope for is a draw. Here's hoping!

To be honest, today's Champions League draw and confirmation of either Atletico or Galatasary as our round of 16 opponent is an irrelevance in comparison with what Igor Tudor has described as a "life or death" situation regarding the matter of Premier League survival.

Our match referee will be Paul Tierney. Mr. Tierney has not been in the middle with Spurs for nearly two years. His last Spurs game was the 4-2 away defeat Liverpool in May 2024. Mr. Tierney's duties are more often in the VAR control room these days, but he has taken charge of five Premier League games this season.

Did you know? (with thanks to Declan Mulcahy) Bedford Jezzard was a significant figure at Fulham during the 1950s and 1960s. He was a centre forward who was fast but didn't have good ball control. During his early seasons Fulham were in Division 1 and he found goals hard to come by. They were relegated to Division 2 for the beginning of the 1952-53 season.

Over the next four seasons he scored 123 goals including five once against Hull City. During this time he also was capped twice for England. The first was a 7-1 thrashing by Hungary in Budapest at the end of 1954. His second appearance was against Northern Ireland in November 1955. Despite having a hand in all of the goals in a 3-0 victory he was never selected again at that level. On an England tour at the end of 1956 to South Africa where caps weren't awarded, he suffered a career-ending ankle injury. He was Fulham's leading goal scorer when he retired but was surpassed by Johnny Haynes in the 1960s.

He became Fulham's youth team coach in August 1957. Within a year he replaced Dugald Livingstone as the Fulham team manager under general manager former Spurs player Frank Osborne. He gained promotion to Division 1 in his first season and kept Fulham there in the lower half of the table for the next five seasons.

Towards the end of the 1963-64 season Fulham chairman Tommy Trinder sold one of Fulham's best players Alan Mullery to Spurs without consulting Jezzard first. Jezzard decided he had had enough at the end of the season. He left Fulham and football and turned to running a pub in Hammersmith instead. During those five seasons in the top division the ten league games against Spurs resulted in six defeats, for draws and no wins. Bedford Jezzard passed away in May 2005, aged 77.
