Tottenham Hotspur face Fulham at White Hart Lane on Sunday looking to remain in the Premier League top three.

Tottenham Hotspur face Fulham in Sunday's first London derby as they look to cement their top-three position in the Premier League.

Spurs go into the game off the back of a gruelling extra-time triumph over Inter Milan and were beaten in their last league game away to Liverpool.

Conversely, Fulham have not played for a fortnight since being pegged back to 2-2 from leading Sunderland 2-0.

Andre Villas-Boas might be tempted to shuffle his pack, with Gareth Bale expected to come back into the XI. Sandro remains out while Clint Dempsey is a doubt to face his old club.

Martin Jol is still without Mahamadou Diarra and Kerim Frei but otherwise there are no fresh injury or suspension concerns for Fulham.
