Fulham vs Tottenham Hotspur
The teams are out on the pitch now, with kick-off just moments away!
Fulham vs Tottenham Hotspur
There's just one change by Ange Postecoglou from their win over Villa on Sunday, and it's an enforced one. Micky van de Ven was forced off with a knee injury in that match so he's unavailable. Dragusin comes in to take his place. They are boosted by the return of Richarlison, who is back on the bench after overcoming a knee problem.
Fulham vs Tottenham Hotspur
Marco Silva makes two changes to the side that lost to Wolves last weekend as Palhinha and William are brought into the starting line-up. Reed and Wilson both start on the bench, as does Jimenez, who is deemed fit enough after recovering from a thigh injury.

Fulham vs Tottenham Hotspur
A win for Spurs today would see them leapfrog Aston Villa into fourth spot, as they don't play until tomorrow. They've lost just one of their last eight Premier League matches (W5 D2), but have won back-to-back games leading up to this one, including a huge 4-0 victory over the Villains last weekend. Spurs have also won each of their last seven trips to Craven Cottage, which is their joint-best run of away victories against an opponent in the competition (also two runs of seven against Villa).
Fulham vs Tottenham Hotspur
Fulham start the day in 12th but have the opportunity to close the gap to the top half of the table with a win here. They've lost just two of their last seven outings (W3 D2), and even though they come into this game on the back of a disappointing 2-1 loss to Wolves, two of their recent wins have come on home soil, including a 3-0 victory over Brighton in their last such outing. The Cottagers have lost 14 of their last 16 Premier League games against Spurs though (W1 D1), going winless in the last nine (D1 L8) since a 1-0 win at White Hart Lane in March 2013.
