Football pundit Mark Lawrenson has backed Tottenham Hotspur to secure a win at home to Fulham on Monday, and praised the work Ange Postecoglou has done so far at the club.
Tottenham have flown out of the traps this season, and remain unbeaten in the first eight league games under Postecoglou. The Lilywhites went into the international break at the top of the Premier League table.
Unfortunately, by the time they host Fulham on Monday night, there’s a good chance Spurs will have slipped down the table, depending on the results Arsenal, Manchester City, and Liverpool pick up this weekend.
However, Spurs will be hoping the likes of Heung-min Son and James Maddison can keep up their good form to ensure that the unbeaten record remains intact, and hopefully lift the North London club back to the summit.
Fulham are currently in 12th place in the table, and have struggled to find their shooting boots this season. Nevertheless, there is no such thing as an easy game in this division.

Spurs are looking good to Lawrenson
In his regular weekend predictions for Paddy Power, Mark Lawrenson has tipped Tottenham to take all three points on Monday fairly comfortably, and branded Postecoglou a ‘special’ manager.
He said: “Spurs have done well and Ange Postecoglou has done great. He’s obviously got something special about him. Fulham are not great on the road so it’s got to be a home win as they’ve not been Spursy – yet!”
Tottenham 2-0 Fulham.

This is the same prediction I’ve gone for in this game. I can’t see Fulham troubling our defence, and the team and Postecoglou will be keen to continue their excellent run, especially at home. It would be great to end the weekend on a high and still be at the top of the table.
