Tottenham Hotspur are back in action this evening as they play host to Fulham in the Premier League.

Ange Postecoglou’s side have earned huge plaudits in the opening weeks of the season having dropped just four points.

A win tonight would send Spurs two points clear at the top of the Premier League table and Postecoglou will be warning against complacency.

Spurs go with Guglielmo Vicario in goal behind a back four of Pedro Porro, Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven and Destiny Udogie.

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg fills in for the suspended Yves Bissouma in midfield, joining Pape Matar Sarr and James Maddison in the engine room.

Postecoglou could have gone with Oliver Skipp or Giovani Lo Celso, but is going with linked-away Hojbjerg.

Son Heung-min continues in attack, flanked by Richarlison and Dejan Kulusevski.

Brennan Johnson returns from injury with a place on the bench, joining Fraser Forster, Oliver Skipp, Bryan Gil, Emerson Royal, Eric Dier, Giovani Lo Celso, Ashley Phillips and Alejo Veliz.

Fulham have former Arsenal stopper Bernd Leno between the sticks behind Timothy Castagne, Tim Ream, Calvin Bassey and Antonee Robinson.

Sasa Lukic and Joao Palhinha will provide the base in midfield with Andreas Pereira pushing forward a little more.

Ex-Tottenham striker Carlos Vinicius starts and will be supported by Bobby De Cordova-Reid and former Arsenal man Willian.

Alex Iwobi is another former Gunner in the Fulham squad as he features on the bench, joining Marek Rodak, Harrison Reed, Raul Jimenez, Harry Wilson, Tom Cairney, Fode Ballo-Toure, Rodrigo Muniz and Luc De Fougerolles.
