GOOD EVENING
Welcome to our live blog of Fulham v Tottenham
Scott Parker’s side drew 0-0 at Crystal Palace over the weekend but are in desperate need of a win that would lift them out of the relegation zone.
Fulham are unbeaten in their last five league games.
Spurs will be hopeful of building on Sunday’s 4-0 win over Burnley as they look to stay in the race for a top four finish.
Tottenham have won two of their last six league games.
Marek Roday and Tom Cairney are the only two injury concerns for the Cottagers; the home side will be looking to keep changes to a minimum after a fine run of form.
Antonee Robinson could be given the nod at left-back ahead of Ola Aina.
Mario Lemina and Ivan Cavaleiro could both return to Fulham’s starting line-up with Parker potentially keeping one eye on Sunday’s encounter with Liverpool.
However, Aleksandar Mitrovic may not be ready to start after recently returning to training after testing positive for coronavirus.
Giovani Lo Celso is the only injury absentee for the visitors, it’s hoped the Argentine may return to Tottenham’s squad for the North London derby later this month.
Gareth Bale has been in outstanding form recently and is likely to retain his place in the team.
Dele Alli came on as a substitute for the third game in succession against Burnley but is unlikely to start.
It remains to be seen if Serge Aurier will be risked from the start again after only just returning from injury.
