London derby: latest results, injuries and match reports

London derbies are loud, tight and often change a club’s mood for weeks. On this tag page you’ll find focused coverage of the big local clashes — match reports, injury news, tactical notes and what to expect next. We pull together the headlines so you don’t miss the key moments that matter.

Recent results and short takes

Tottenham ended a worrying run with a 2-0 win over Brentford, snapping a seven-match losing streak. The result bought Spurs breathing room and showed a cleaner defensive shape on the day. Small tactical changes and a more disciplined back line made the difference — classic derby priorities: keep shape, hit on the break, and stay calm under pressure.

On the other side of town, the Fulham vs Crystal Palace clash is now as much about injuries as it is tactics. Palace face long-term losses to players named in reports and Fulham enter the match with Lukic’s fitness up in the air. Palace welcome Eze back, which gives them a creative edge, but missing pieces in midfield mean managers must reshuffle and pick players who can run, press and cover space fast.

What we cover and why it helps you

Here’s what you’ll get when you follow the London derby tag: concise match reports that tell you what changed the game, clear injury updates that explain how lineups might shift, and quick tactical notes showing why managers set up a certain way. We don’t bury you in stats — we highlight the moments that affect the result and what each club must fix next.

For example, when a key midfielder is ruled out, we’ll explain how that weakens a team’s press or opens them up to counterattacks. When a derby ends with a defensive masterclass, we’ll point out the shape and personnel that made it work. That practical angle helps you understand not just what happened, but why.
