Fulham defender Brede Hangeland has insisted that his side are "capable" of picking up a positive result from their London derby away at Tottenham Hotspur next weekend.

Andre Villas-Boas's Spurs have not been defeated at White Hart Lane since November and currently sit third in the Premier League table, having lost just once in their last 12 outings.

Despite admitting that it will be a tough match for Fulham, Norwegian international Hangeland has claimed that there is enough quality in the visiting squad to win the encounter.

"They are right now are one of the top teams in the country," the centre-back is quoted as saying by the London Evening Standard. "I'm sure many will see Spurs as the favourites. But that's fine, we know what we are capable of and we like to think we can take something from the game."

Fulham last won at the Lane back in August 2003.
