Tottenham’s FA Cup clash with Fulham on Sunday is by no means a foregone conclusion. The Lilywhites may be one division and a fair few places higher in the English pyramid, but their London opponents are one of the strongest attacking sides in the Championship, ranking third for goals scored, first for efforts at goal and first for possession.

Key to those impressive performances going forward this season has been star striker Chris Martin, their top scorer in the league with nine goals. It’s not certain whether he’ll start on the FA Cup on Sunday after being hooked off against Wigan and finding himself left on the bench in a 3-2 win over Nottingham Forest on Tuesday night, but Spurs fans should be hoping his involvement is as limited as possible.
Indeed, as our infographic shows, the Scotland international has been in strong form this term. In addition to his impressive tally, he’s won 50 aerial duels and produced a staggering 56 efforts at goal – 57% of which have been on target. He’s also laid on 25 chances for his team-mates, picking up two assists, illustrating how he can provide chances for others as well as converting his own.
