Hello and welcome to live coverage of Tottenham’s clash with Fulham in the Premier League.

The pre-match thoughts of Tim Sherwood: "We hope they [Fulham] come flying out of the blocks and we score more than them, because it is still three points. We don't want to do what we did against West Brom, but if we have to score four and they score three then I'm happy. The duty of care comes towards our fans, and playing for the shirt of the club, not worrying about anybody else. They've got themselves into that situation because they haven't been great, and that's the bottom line."

It’s pretty tricky to impress Felix Magath. The gaffer makes five changes from the 1-0 triumph over Norwich as John Arne Riise, William Kvist, Scott Parker, Ashkan Dejagah and Alexander Kacaniklic come in.

Congratulations, Paulinho. It appears venting your annoyance at squad rotation in the press has landed you a start today. Unsurprisingly, Tim Sherwood has elected to field a side without a recognisable defensive midfielder - Sandro (aka The Beast) is not even in the squad. Mousa Dembele and Roberto Soldado return to the bench.
