Follow live coverage as Fulham face Tottenham Hotspur today in the Premier League. Another top-flight season will be covered in full right here with The Independent, as reigning champions Manchester City look to make it an unprecedented five titles in a row come the end of 2024/25.
The likes of Arsenal and Liverpool will be chasing Pep Guardiola's side, but just as fascinating will be the race for Champions League places, with more teams than ever before having designs on top-four finishes. Chelsea remain big-spending, Manchester United's latest rebuild continues and both Tottenham and Newcastle will expect improvements this year - yet it was Aston Villa who snared fourth last term.
Meanwhile, it's Southampton, Leicester City and Ipswich Town who made it back to the elite after promotion last year and each will have hope they can make it more than a one-year stay. Follow the latest live action from the Premier League below:

PENALTY SHOUT! Fulham striker Jimenez gets the wrong side of Spence, who gives the Mexican a nudge in the back but much to the frustration of the home fans, the referee is not interested in any penalty appeals and waves play on.

Fulham have looked lively in transition, but the final pass has been lacking from the home side as they look to trouble the Tottenham goal. Based on Opta’s expected goals on target conceded metric, Spurs keeper Vicario has prevented around five goals in the Premier League this season (21.9 xGoT faced, 17 goals conceded) – only Henderson (36.6 xGoT faced, 31 goals conceded) has a better record this term.

CLOSE! Tottenham break forward at pace and Tel does brilliantly to manoeuvre past the Fulham defence but his final ball is not met by a Spurs teammate and Fulham gratefully clear the ball away.

The home side are looking to hit Jimenez on the counter attack but the Spurs defence are handling the Mexican well so far. All 10 of Jimenez’s Premier League goals this season have either put Fulham ahead (seven) or drawn them level (three) in the match, the most goals any player has scored with 100% of them doing so this term.

13:48
Tottenham have two back-to-back corners but Fulham defend resolutely and clear away the danger. It's been a cautious start so far with both teams lacking cutting edge in the final third.

Tel, who has struggled since joining Tottenham from Bayern Munich on deadline day is looking to make things happen early on but the Frenchman is being cautiously watched by Castagne in the opening 10 minutes in west London.

Despite, a torrid campaign so far in the Premier League, Tottenham's attacking quality will pose a big threat to the Fulham backline. No team’s Premier League games have seen more goals scored than Tottenham’s this season (96 – F55 A41). Only league leaders Liverpool (69) have scored more goals than the north London side so far.

After a slow start, Fulham have settled into the game. The hosts have the first corner kick of the match but the delivery from Willian comes to nothing and Spurs clear the danger away.

Gray, who has recently been occupying a defensive role for Tottenham due to injuries is today starting in central midfield. It will be interesting to see how the talented 19-year-old fares against Fulham's physical midfield of Berge and Pereira.

CHANCE! Fulham have the first opening of the game. The hosts break forward in numbers and the ball finds Pereira, but the Brazilian fires his effort well wide of Vicario's post.

Tottenham have started confidently in the opening exchanges with the visitors retaining possession of the ball and stringing some early passes together. Spurs have the best big chance conversion rate in the Premier League this season (44.9%), while only Nottingham Forest (nine) have overperformed their xG more than the north London outfit (55 goals from 47.2 xG).

Meanwhile, Ange Postecoglou has made seven changes from the side which beat AZ Alkmaar in the Europa League on Thursday. Ben Davies replaces Micky van de Ven in central defence, while Destiny Udogie starts at left-back, with Djed Spence shifting to right-back in place of Pedro Porro. Pape Sarr, Lucas Bergvall, James Maddison, Wilson Odobert and Son Heung-Min are all named on the bench after starting in midweek, with Archie Gray, Rodrigo Bentancur, Yves Bissouma, Brennan Johnson and Mathys Tel all given the nod at Craven Cottage.

Fulham make one change to the side that lost 2-1 at Brighton last weekend. Willian makes his first start since returning to the club in February with defender Issa Diop dropping out from the matchday squad. Marco Silva takes charge of his 200th Premier League match today, becoming the second Portuguese coach to reach this milestone after Jose Mourinho. Silva has the highest win rate of any Fulham manager in the competition (37.5% - W39 D24 L41).

Meanwhile, visitors Tottenham make the short trip to west London in a bullish mood having defeated Dutch outfit AZ Alkmaar to reach the quarter-final of the UEFA Europa League. Domestically, Spurs have endured a torrid campaign with Ange Postecoglou’s side currently in 13th place with 34 points, eight points worse off than today’s opponents. With not much to play for in the league, the north Londoners season now firmly revolves around Europe, with German giants Eintracht Frankfurt up next in the last eight of the competition.

Hosts Fulham come into today’s London derby still dreaming of qualification for European football. Marco Silva’s outfit currently sit tenth in a tightly congested Premier League table, and will be aiming to put a string of wins together before the end of the season as they look to qualify for Europe for the first time since 2011. With ten games remaining of this campaign, the Cottagers will hope to bounce back following last weekend’s injury-time defeat to Brighton on the road. The west Londoners have won their last two meetings against Tottenham at the Cottage, and are seeking three consecutive home victories over Spurs for the first time since 2006.
