Team News: Dimitar Berbatov makes Fulham return

Fulham welcome back striker Dimitar Berbatov for tonight's Premier League clash with fellow Londoners Tottenham Hotspur.

Defender Philippe Senderos has broken into the starting XI, while Adel Taarabt and Bryan Ruiz will have to settle for places on the substitutes' bench.

Spurs have dropped misfiring striker Roberto Soldado to the bench, handing a start to the experienced Jermain Defoe, while Paulinho will play in an advanced midfield role.

Fulham: Stekelenburg; Riether, Hughes, Senderos, Riise; Parker, Karagounis; Dejagah, Kasami, Kacaniklic; Berbatov
