Tottenham will look to bounce back from consecutive defeats to avoid an FA Cup upset against London rivals Fulham on Sunday.

Mauricio Pochettino's high-flyers are favourites on paper to reach the quarter-finals, but defeats against Liverpool (Premier League) and Gent (Europa League) have threatened to derail their fight for silverware across three fronts.

Fulham beat Premier League strugglers Hull 4-1 in the last round to reach the last-16, and Slavisa Jokanovic's Championship side be confident of creating a hostile atmosphere for Spurs in west London.

TEAM NEWS

Pochettino faces a number of selection decisions with Spurs taking on Fulham just three days after their Europa League defeat to Gent.

Spurs have confirmed they will make "late decisions" on the fitness of Harry Kane and Jan Vertonghen.

But with Danny Rose still sidelined, so Pochettino will call on younger members of his squad. Cameron Carter-Vickers and Kevin Wimmer could start at centre-back, while Harry Winks is set to feature in midfield.

Georges Kevin-N'Koudou came off the bench against Liverpool and may also start, with Vincent Janseen set to be handed a rare chance to impress after a difficult debut season in England.

Fulham defender Ryan Fredericks will miss the game as he serves the final match of his three-game ban, with Denis Odoi set to start in his place.
