Tottenham Hotspur
Our last match of 2020 sees us welcome Fulham to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Wednesday evening, kick-off 6pm.
In what is the first of three consecutive home games in the space of a week, with a Premier League clash with Leeds United and a Carabao Cup semi-final against Brentford still to come over the next seven days, the Cottagers come to N17 led by manager Scott Parker, who made 63 appearances for us as a central midfielder between 2011 and 2013 and spent a season as our Under-18s Coach in 2017/18.

How will the teams line up?
Giovani Lo Celso, Gareth Bale, Lucas Moura and Carlos Vinicius could all be forced to miss Wednesday’s match.
Giovani picked up an injury against Leicester City on 20 December while Gareth was forced off at half-time in our Carabao Cup win at Stoke last week.
Both Lucas and Carlos missed the draw at Wolves on Sunday and boss Jose Mourinho confirmed to the media: “I don’t expect Gareth to be fit, I wouldn’t say it’s a serious injury, but I would say a few weeks. I have doubts that Lucas and Carlos will be ready.”
Scott Parker returns to the dugout for Fulham after missing their goalless draw with Southampton on Boxing Day due to self-isolation.
Mario Lemina is available for selection after he was unable to face parent club Southampton, while Kenny Tete returns following the birth of his child. Terence Kongolo remains absent with a foot injury.
Who is the referee and what colours will the teams be playing in?
Peter Bankes will take charge of the match, assisted by Dan Cook and James Mainwaring.
Anthony Taylor is the fourth official.
We’ll be in our usual home kit, with our goalkeeper in orange.
Fulham will play in all yellow, with their keeper in dark grey.
