The games do not get any easier for Tottenham following back-to-back Premier League defeats against Arsenal and Man City. Currently fifth in the Premier League table and five points adrift of Newcastle United in the final Champions League spot, there is the very real prospect of Spurs slipping a couple more places come the end of this weekend's league fixtures.
Having to wait until Monday evening to take to the pitch again, Antonio Conte's team make the short trip across the capital to take on high-flying Fulham at Craven Cottage. Two points ahead of Marco Silva's men as things stand, a defeat in west London would see the sides switch positions in the standings.
There's also the possibility that Brighton & Hove Albion move ahead of Spurs as well as their goal difference is better with three points separating them at the halfway stage of the campaign. Desperately needing a win to kickstart their Champions League quest, the head coach has a big decision to make in terms of his team.
