Harry Redknapp’s stunning start in charge of Spurs continued midweek as his side beat Liverpool 4-2 in the League Cup; in 6 games in charge, Spurs have won 5 and drawn 1.

While Spurs were finding goals hard to come by under Juande Ramos, 18 goals in Redknapp’s 6 games has turned the tables dramatically, and Bent, Pavlyuchenko and Campbell have all been involved, giving them much-needed confidence boosts.

Spurs have won 2 out of these sides’ last 3 head to heads, the last a 5-1 win at White Hart Lane last year; at Craven Cottage, though the sides have drawn their last two meetings, although their last was a victory-lost from Spurs’ point of view as they let a 3-1 lead slip with ten minutes to go, eventually drawing 3-3.

Spurs are favourites, at a best of $2.30, but despite Redknapp’s start, they have still been terrible away from home for the past two seasons and Fulham have been impressive at home this season, and should make things tough for the North-London side; Fulham have 4-1-1 at home in the league, including a 1-0 win over Spurs’ arch-rivals Arsenal earlier in the season.

Also, Spurs have had their fair share of fortune in their recent run; they have been gifted goals against the run of play in their last 3 league games against Arsenal, Liverpool and Man City and while Fulham are technically weaker opponents, they are less attack-minded and are less often caught short at the back.

Fulham, under Roy Hodgson, play cautiously and they have been strong defensively; at home, they have conceded only once in their last 3 league games and have conceded just 4 goals in their last 6 games home and away.

With their defence performing well and striker Johnson in the goals of late, Fulham can upset the odds on Saturday; the $3.30 from Paddy Power about the home win looks decent value.
