Fixture Focus - Spurs (1 Dec 2012)

Fulham FC vs Tottenham Hotspur

The 3rd EPL game within a week, exhaustion began to show on players across the league as we are nearing the infamous "Christmas Crunch" period.

Good thing is, we are travelling just across the capital to Craven Cottage, home of Fulham. This game is kind of a reunion of sorts, with ex-managers and ex-players together on the same field.

Caulker is back after missing the midweek game against Liverpool and he will likely return to the centre defence role. The ex-Fulham D&Ds (not related to a popular fantasy game or a year end party) Dembele and Dempsey are likely to start against their old club. Adebayor is still suspended and thus Defoe is continuing to provide our firepower up front.

Jol welcomes Richardson back to the lineup but he will be missing Ruiz through injury. Berbatov will be starting as well.

An interesting matchup, given that we have found our winning ways again. An away win would be nice to start the last month of the year.
