Tottenham Hotspur will be eager to snatch three points from Fulham to avoid dropping out of the top four on the final day of the Premier League this Sunday.

Tottenham Hotspur have a vital final Premier League encounter against Fulham on Sunday as the North London club are in danger of losing a spot in next season's Champions League campaign.

Spurs are competing with Arsenal and Newcastle United for a spot in the coveted top four, with one team out of the three to miss out.

Harry Redknapp is expected to field a strong side against the Cottagers at White Hart Lane, with William Gallas likely to fill in at full-back following Danny Rose's red card picked up in a 1-1 draw with Aston Villa last weekend.

The former Portsmouth manager, who quashed reports claiming that the club had agreed a deal with Barcelona for Gareth Bale today, will start the Welshman along with Aaron Lennon on the wings.

Meanwhile, Martin Jol will be without influential midfielder Clint Dempsey due to injury, which could pace the way for Kerim Frei.

Pavel Pogrebnyak is expected to start up front with Aaron Hughes likely to be selected ahead of Phillippe Senderos in defence.

Current league form:

Tottenham: LLLWWD
Fulham: WDWLWW

Possible lineups:

Tottenham: Friedel; Walker, Nelsen, Kaboul, Gallas; Lennon, Modric, Parker, Bale; Van der Vaart; Adebayor

Fulham: Schwarzer; Kelly, Hughes, Hangeland, Riise; Dembele, Frei, Diara, Duff, Murphy; Pogrebnyak

Sports Mole says: 2-0
