Tottenham’s quest for a spot in the Champions League brings them to Craven Cottage as they face Fulham on Saturday.
Ange Postecoglou’s team must finish strong to secure fourth place and ensure Champions League qualification. A win against Fulham could propel them past Aston Villa in the standings.
Despite an injury setback during their last match against Villa, Micky van de Ven is expected to recover fully after the international break in March.
