Preview: Fulham vs. Tottenham Hotspur

Fulham host Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday for what is their second London derby in the space of three days.

The Cottagers held Chelsea to a goalless draw on Wednesday night but they remain without a win in six Premier League games.

Manager Martin Jol could recall striker Mladen Petric in place of Hugo Rodallega while Chris Baird could replace Mahamadou Diarra.

Spurs defeated Liverpool 2-1 in midweek and manager Andre Villas-Boas could opt to begin with the same starting lineup against Fulham.

Clint Dempsey was withdrawn after an hour against Liverpool but he is expected to feature against his former club.
