Tottenham Hotspur are aiming to bounce back from their home defeat to Manchester United as they visit Fulham, who are seeking to avoid a third straight Premier League defeat.

Team News

Fulham's new signing Ryan Babel is available to play, but Claudio Ranieri believes that he is not 100% fit.

The injuries are beginning to mount up for Spurs, who are without Harry Kane, who has been ruled out for seven weeks with ankle ligament damage, and Moussa Sissoko (groin).

Son Heung-min is away on international duty at the Asian Cup and Mousa Dembele has moved to Chinese club Guangzhou R&F.

Victor Wanyama (knee) is out, and there are doubts over Eric Dier, back in training after appendicitis, and Lucas Moura (knee).

Did you know?

Fulham are looking to win consecutive PL home matches for the first time since April 2013 but Spurs have won more top-flight away fixtures than any other side this season, with 10.

Spurs are unbeaten in their last 20 PL away matches against promoted sides (W17 D3), since a 1-0 loss at Queens Park Rangers in April 2012.

Aleksandar Mitrovic could become the fourth player to score in his first four PL matches against Spurs after Mark Bright, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Obafemi Martins.

Spurs have won nine of their last 10 PL meetings with Fulham, losing only in March 2013 at White Hart Lane.
