Tottenham Hotspur make the short trip across the capital to face Fulham in Sunday's first FA Cup fifth round tie.

In eighth position and pushing for the play-offs, Fulham have enjoyed a respectable season so far. This weekend’s tie presents an opportunity to escape the pressures of the Championship but Slavisa Jokanovic's men face quite the challenge if they're to reach the quarter-finals.

As for Spurs, Mauricio Pochettino is expected to rotate his side for as he keeps one eye on the Premier League. It could prove a risky move, considering his men are under pressure to bounce back from two successive defeats against Liverpool and Gent.

It’s a big game for…

Vincent Janssen. The Dutch striker is set to be handed a rare opportunity to impress in what has been a difficult debut season. The 22-year-old grabbed himself a goal and an assist in Spurs’ dramatic 4-3 home win over Wycombe Wanderers but has only scored on three other occasions. He’ll be mindful of his disappointing form and will want to improve on the four goals he’s already returned.

Best stat…

The last time these two sides meet in the FA Cup Fulham beat Spurs 4-0 at Craven Cottage in 2011.

Remember when…

Fulham beat Spurs 3-2 in a Premier League thriller in the 2002-03 season.

Player to watch…

Ryan Sessegnon. The 16-year-old who can operate as a left-back and as a winger has been making a name for himself this season. Spurs are reported to have been monitoring the English star and this weekend he has the perfect opportunity to display what his alleged suitors could be in for.

Dubbed as the next English world-beater, Sessegnon has already notched up 17 first-team appearances this season, bagging four goals and providing three assists in the process.

It's an energetic start from both sides, as they both appear to be finding their feet in the early stages of this fixture. Fulham are on the front foot and look menacing going forward.

4 MINS

Alli finds Eriksen with a header, but his left-footed strike is denied by Bettinelli. That's the best chance of the fixture so far.

5 MINS

Alli goes for goal from the edge of the box, but his strike flies just inches wide of the post. Spurs look as if they've found a weakness in the Fulham back four, so Jokanovic's men need to tighten up or they will be punished.

Johansen bombs into the Spurs box and he attempts to pull the ball back into box, but the Fulham man fails to find a white shirt.

Alderweireld is forced to make a rare mistake on the touchline, as Kebano hunts down possession. The Fulham corner finds Malone on the edge of the area, but his strike on goal fails to hit the target.

13 MINS

Cairney goes to ground after clashing with the boot of Wanyama. It was unintentional from the 25-year-old Kenyan, but it looks although the Fulham lad is suffering. 

[19 February 2017 14:16 · Joe Miles]

15 MINS

Eriksen feeds Kane, but Ream stands his ground well and forces the Spurs skipper away from the goal. Some defenders would have been tempted to jump in there, but he made the right decision and the attack came to an anticlimactic end.

GOAL

FULHAM 1 - 0 TOTTENHAM 

Kane has scored the opener, with his 17th goal of the season. Trippier picks up the ball cleverly and delivers the ball into the path of the goalscorer, who pokes it home on the volley. Fulham's high line made them susceptible to an attack like that.

19 MINS

Vorm comes close to giving Fulham the equaliser, after his attempted pass falls at the feet of Cairney. Nonetheless, he reacted well and redeemed his mistake.
