Igor Tudor on verge of humiliating Premier League record ahead of Fulham vs Tottenham
Tottenham are set to travel to Craven Cottage on Sunday as they look to return to winning ways.
Igor Tudor’s reign got off to the worst possible start last weekend as they were mauled 4-1 against Arsenal.
Now, they will be looking to quickly bounce back, but face a Fulham side who are on form and on the hunt for European football.
Therefore, Tudor is at serious risk of being humiliated once again if the Cottagers score at least four times.

No Premier League manager has conceded four goals or more in first two matches
For Tudor, his instructions at Tottenham will be clear – pull the club away from the relegation zone and to safety.
However, little was on show against Arsenal to suggest that this could be done.
Spurs were sloppy, defensively fragile, and were rightly beaten at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
With Tudor’s appointment already being controversial, he will be determined to prove his doubters wrong.
Now, according to BBC Sport on 27 February, if Fulham also net four goals past Tottenham on Sunday, Tudor will become the first Premier League manager in history to concede at least four times in his first two matches.

This perhaps isn’t as far-fetched as it sounds, as the Cottagers scored four times against Man City earlier this season, and netted three times away to Sunderland last time out.
Tottenham’s record vs Fulham explained
Despite traditionally getting the better of Fulham, Tottenham have a terrible record against their opponents in recent years.
Spurs have won just one of their last six meetings, despite winning eight of the past nine before this run.
On top of this, Fulham has usually come out on top, winning four of the last six matches, with the other game ending in a draw.
With the Cottagers beating Spurs 2-1 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium earlier this season, there is now a chance to get revenge.
However, the odds of the North London club achieving this appear slim given the contrasting forms of the two sides.
Nevertheless, it is vital that Spurs at least look to pick up something on the weekend, with the relegation zone edging ever closer as West Ham continue to pick up points.
