5 Premier League fixtures you can't miss this August

#3 Tottenham Hotspur Vs Fulham

Fulham v Tottenham Hotspur - The Emirates FA Cup Fifth Round

An intriguing fixture, this London derby has all the hallmarks of a classic. Both sides enjoy playing expansive, attacking football and we can expect a lot of goalmouth action in this early season clash.

Spurs begin their campaign with a difficult trip to St. James' Park to face Newcastle before coming back to London to take on their city rivals. There has been much talk about the lack of activity by Pochettino in the transfer market this summer and he will need his squad fit and firing for what promises to be an exhausting game against Fulham.

Meanwhile, the Cottagers are back in the big time and ready to spring a surprise or two during the upcoming campaign. A dark horse to challenge for the "best of the rest" prize, Fulham are an excellent footballing side with some wonderful players. The wide Wembley pitch will suit their style of play as they look to conquer a big name early in the season.

Venue: Wembley Stadium

Kick-Off: Sunday, August 18th 3.00 pm GMT/7.30 pm IST

Corresponding result last season: N/A

Player to watch: Ryan Sessegnon (Fulham). The young midfielder has caught the eye of many bigger clubs of late but opted to stick with Fulham for the upcoming season.
