Sir Bobby Charlton: Premier League managers pay tribute as England World Cup winner dies at 86

Tottenham’s best start to a top-flight season for more 60 years got even better as a 2-0 home win over Fulham sent them two points clear at the Premier League summit on Monday.

Captain Son Heung-min’s seventh league goal of the campaign and James Maddison’s first home strike for the club secured a seventh win in nine league games.

Son curled a right-foot effort into the top corner in the 36th minute and then set up playmaker Maddison to score with a cool finish in the 54th.

Unbeaten in the league under new manager Ange Postecoglou, Spurs have 23 points, two more than champions Manchester City and local rivals Arsenal.

Silva, meanwhile, makes two changes to his Fulham side that won 3-1 over Sheffield United. In central defence, the injured Diop is replaced by the returning Bassey, while Lukic comes in for Iwobi in midfield.

Postecoglou makes just one change from his side that won 1-0 against Luton. It's an enforced switch as Hojbjerg comes in for the suspended Bissouma who was sent off in that fixture.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Fulham

Fulham, meanwhile, have enjoyed a solid, if slightly unremarkable start to their second season in the Premier League under Marco Silva. They sit 12th but lost just one of their last five games in all competitions before the international break, most recently winning 3-1 at home against Sheffield United. They face a tough task against Spurs, though, and have historically struggled in league games against London clubs, failing to win any of their last 10 encounters (D4, L6).

Tottenham will look to return to the top of the Premier League today with a win to keep their incredible league start under Ange Postecoglou going. Spurs are unbeaten through nine league games - drawing twice - and host London rivals Fulham looking for three wins on the spin after consecutive wins over Liverpool and Luton Town prior to the international break.
