Hello and welcome to football.london for live coverage of Tottenham's Premier League derby clash with Fulham this afternoon.
Spurs are looking to make it back-to-back wins in the Premier League following the dazzling 4-0 win at Manchester City last weekend. A victory against Marco Silva's men would push Ange Postecoglou's side up into the mix of the chasing pack behind Liverpool while a defeat would see Fulham leapfrog their hosts.
Tottenham continue to face a packed schedule this month as the games come every three to four days and the Australian is dealing with a long absence list that is yet to show any sign of abating, with only vice-captain Cristian Romero having a slim possibility of returning from the game against the Cottagers.
Today's match kicks off at 1.30pm GMT at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium You can follow live coverage of Tottenham versus Fulham right here with Alasdair Gold.
