Fulham and Tottenham go head-to-head in a crucial Premier League game on Saturday - and there are a number of players who will miss out on the fixture
Tottenham go hunting for their first win of the Igor Tudor era when they make the short trip across London to face Fulham on Sunday afternoon.
Tudor oversaw a 4-1 North London Derby defeat to Arsenal in his first game since replacing Thomas Frank earlier this month - and he will be desperate to get a maiden win under his belt.
Fulham, meanwhile, head in the game off the back of an impressive 3-1 win at Sunderland last Sunday and will be hoping to boost their chances of qualifying for Europe.
But there are a number of players that won't feature in the game at Craven Cottage. For Tottenham, Tudor has at least nine stars unavailable for the fixture. James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski haven't played a single minute this season and both are long-term absentees.
