Spurs would need 5 clear goals to jump Liverpool into 3rd spot tonight, unlikely but you never know with Fulham these days.

Michael Carrick will make his 50th appearance for us tonight and in my opinion will be the key to three points. With Mido still at the African Nations Jemaine Defoe is likely to start along side Robbie Keane, this means pin point passing will be needed to unlock Fulham?s defence especially with 10ft5?? defender Zat Knight playing.

Edgar Davids is still a doubt but could still be included; I very much doubt Mr Jol would want to risk him with Jermaine Jenas quite capable of filling into centre midfield. One thing that might concern him though is the combative way that Fulham have been playing so I think Davids has a 50/50 chance of playing.

A real chance to boost our bid for the Champions League tonight lets hope the lads do not falter.
