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.
