Fulham's trip to north London is a huge game for Thomas Frank and his Tottenham side, with the Dane starting to feel the heat after last week's derby defeat.

Spurs haven't won a Premier League game in front of their fans since the opening weekend of the season, and our woeful showing at the Emirates last Sunday saw the manager lose a big chunk of the fanbase.

There were positives to take from the chaotic defeat to Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday night, during which Spurs played with intent and aggression. Frank said he recognised his side at the Parc des Princes, but that improvement will count for little if they fail to show up on Saturday night.

Supporters not only want three points, but they expect to be entertained. Frank's football has so far left plenty to be desired, and plenty will be calling for his head if Fulham turn the Lilywhites over.

The visitors haven't won away from home in the league all season, but they've enjoyed some success against Spurs as of late. Marco Silva's side are unbeaten in three in this fixture, and they'll arrive in N17 on Saturday off the back of a hard-fought victory over Sunderland last Saturday.

Here's our preview of Saturday's crucial game under the lights.

Tottenham team news

Cristian Romero's booking in the North London Derby was his fifth of the season, so he'll be suspended for Saturday's game. Kevin Danso will come into Frank's defence and partner Micky van de Ven.

There isn't all that much change on the injury front, with no timescales provided regarding the returns of Dejan Kulusevski and Dominic Solanke. We're yet to see Kota Takai in action either, but at least Ben Davies is back in training.

There were more systematic changes from Frank in the week, but despite the success, I'd be surprised to see such a narrow midfield utilised at home on Saturday. Randal Kolo Muani has to keep his place, though, as does Lucas Bergvall. Xavi Simons should also come into the XI, having been used off the bench in Spurs' previous two outings.

Tottenham predicted lineup vs. Fulham: Vicario; Porro, Danso, Van de Ven, Udogie; Palhinha, Bergvall; Kudus, Simons, Odobert; Kolo Muani.

Fulham have far fewer injury concerns than Spurs, but the two they're without on Saturday have hurt the Lilywhites in the past.

Antonee Robinson has been one of the Premier League's best left-backs over the past couple of years, but he's barely played this season due to a knee injury. He'll miss Saturday's game, too.

The visitors are also without Rodrigo Muniz for the long haul due to a hamstring issue. Raúl Jimeñez has been in good scoring form this season, though, and he scored the winner against Sunderland last weekend.

Fulham predicted lineup vs Tottenham: Leno; Tete, Andersen, Bassey, Sessegnon; Berge, Cairney; Wilson, King, Iwobi; Jimeñez.

Tottenham vs. Fulham score prediction

I'm not going to lie. This game really scares me. I've detested our recent trips to Craven Cottage, and I'm already envisioning Harry Wilson and Alex Iwobi wreaking havoc on Saturday night, with Jimeñez bound to score an acrobatic goal.

However, I don't want the Frank era to die such a rapid death. Some are willing it to this weekend, but I hope the Dane ploughs through and wins a few more hearts and minds back with a convincing enough display against the Cottagers.

Prediction: Tottenham 2-1 Fulham
