Newly promoted Fulham take a short trip across London to face local rivals Tottenham Hotspur, with both sides eager to continue their strong starts to the season.
Spurs fans will be delighted with both their start to the season, and their transfer dealings throughout the summer.
With 3 wins and two draws under their belt, Antonio Conte’s side sit in 3rd place, only 4 points behind league leaders Arsenal.
Spurs have added quality to their team throughout the window, bringing in the likes of Ivan Perisic, Richarlison, Djed Spence and Clement Lenglet which has set their squad up nicely for the rest of the Premier League campaign.

Despite being one of the favourites to go straight back down before the season began, Fulham have had a strong start.
They have so far taken points off Brighton, Brentford, Liverpool and Wolves, suggesting they will be an incredibly tough team to beat this year.
Here is everything you need to know about this afternoon’s clash.
Tottenham vs Fulham will take place at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and will kick off at 3pm BST.

Unfortunately for UK viewers, this game will not be televised due to the 3pm fixture broadcast blackout.
However, fans will be able to find highlights of the game on the Sky Sports Premier League YouTube Channel, or on Match of the Day at 22:30 tonight on BBC 1.
Spurs welcomed back midfielder Oliver Skipp to the squad for the first time this season against the Hammers, after he recovered from a foot injury that kept him out for the opening games.

Conte will also hope South American duo Cristian Romero and Rodrigo Bentacur will be in contention to play despite both being injured for the game against West Ham.
After an impressive win against Brighton, it is unlikely Marco Silva will make too many changes but he is able to bring midfielder Shane Duffy back into the side after he was ineligible to face the Seagulls who are his parent club.
