Team News
Tottenham forward Gareth Bale returns to the squad for Sunday's Premier League game against Fulham after sitting out the Europa League trip to Inter Milan due to suspension.
Winger Aaron Lennon should return to the starting line-up after he came off the bench in Milan following his recovery from a hamstring injury.
Former Fulham forward Clint Dempsey is expected to be available, but defender Younes Kaboul and midfielder Sandro are out.
Fulham boss Martin Jol has an unchanged squad for Sunday's Barclays Premier League trip to his old club Tottenham.
Steve Sidwell has shaken off a knock picked up since their last outing, a 2-2 draw against Sunderland a fortnight ago, and trained this morning.
But fellow midfielder Mahamadou Diarra is still missing with a knee injury which could rule him out for the rest of the season.
Match Notes
Thursday's excitement suggested that Spurs either got their tactis wrong or really are a one-man band.
That Tottenham progressed to the last eight of the Europa League despite conceding four goals is a testament to their determination and team-spirit and with Bale available after suspension, Fulham should be afraid.
Martin Jol is still regarded warmly by Spurs fans after his three years in charge there and with one defeat in five, they will be confident, even though they lost 3-0 at home to Tottenham in December.
Betting: Home 1-2, Away 6-1, Draw 3-1.
Stat of the game: Tottenham have scored 35 goals in the second half of games this season, the most in the Premier League. Beaten at Liverpool last weekend, they are bidding to avoid consecutive defeats for the first time in 18 league games.
John Ley's prediction: Tottenham Hotspur 3 Fulham 1
