Tottenham‘s run to the Carabao Cup final
Follow all the action as Tottenham Hotspur host Fulham in a hastily rearranged London derby in the Premier League this evening.
Parker sent out a strong starting eleven for Fulham’s FA Cup third round victory over west London rivals QPR as the club seek to maintain their newfound momentum. It was not quite an avalanche of points, but four draws in succession in the league still represented a marked improvement before an outbreak of Covid within the Cottagers’ squad. Spurs, meanwhile, still have an optimistic eye on the title race and victory tonight would see them move to within four points of leaders Manchester United. Their squad is well-rested, too, after a heavily rotated side defeated Marine in an FA Cup tie to remember last time out. Follow all the action live below:
Tottenham 0 – 0 Fulham
15 mins: Tete is released down the right wing but is chased down by Dier. Dier slides in to win the looks like he’s done himself a bit of damage.
Dier continues and Spurs have a corner to defend. Harrison Reid plays the ball into De Cordova-Reid and he shoots first time. The shot is blocked but falls to Anguissa who belts one at goal too. Lloris reacts quickly and pushes the ball away. Good stuff from Fulham.

6 mins: Hojbjerg wins the ball off Anguissa in the middle of the pitch. He squeezes it up to Ndombele who’s fouled by Anguissa trying to win the ball back. Spurs put the free kick into the box and it falls for Reguilon who whacks a shot over the bar.
