Returning to London derby duties after an engrossing Europa League affair, Tottenham Hotspur welcome Fulham to their headquarters in the Premier League on Sunday.
Ange Postecoglou's men dropped more points on the continent in Thursday's 2-2 draw with Roma, who escaped from North London with a share of the spoils thanks to a last-gasp Mats Hummels equaliser.
Thursday's result was a reality check for Spurs after their incredible 4-0 crushing of Manchester City last weekend, a result that lifted them up to sixth in the Premier League table.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up Tottenham's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their showdown with Fulham, who were slaughtered 4-1 at home by Wolverhampton Wanderers in Premier League gameweek 12.
