To go to Stamford Bridge and restrict the Blues to so few opportunities means you have played well, and Fulham had their own chances as well.
Tottenham, meanwhile, blitzed Liverpool early on in their last game but were hanging on for their win by the end.
I think that is fairly typical of Spurs this season. When they have the ball and they are running at you, they are very dangerous.
But, at the same time, when teams run at them they always seem to fashion opportunities.
In Martin Jol and Dimitar Berbatov, Fulham have two Spurs old boys who will be eager to impress.
I still don't really understand why Spurs got rid of Jol - under him, they finished fifth two seasons running and only missed out on the Champions League in 2006 when the squad had a bout of food poisoning before they lost to West Ham on the final day.
Spurs sacked Jol very quickly despite him doing a good job, and he is doing the same at Fulham. He is a very good manager, and of course he would love to get one over Tottenham on Sunday.
Prediction: 1-1
TWUNT!
