Follow live coverage as Tottenham face Fulham today in the Premier League.
Spurs will hope to bounce off a stunning 4-0 win at Manchester City, despite coming unstuck midweek in Europe against Roma.
The result saw the Australian coach pushed on his approach once more, which was met with a defiant response: “Look, I don’t know how many ways I can say this. “There’s plenty of room for pragmatism in walks of life and in football as well. But I’m just not interested in it. I don’t know why I need to change my approach to be like everyone else wants me to be.”
Ange Postecoglou’s side meet Marco Silva’s Whites, who will be determined to respond to a setback at home to Wolves last time out.

What will this game entail? Going off Spurs’ form, it’s a tricky one to analyse. Tottenham have alternated between victory (four) and defeat (three) in their last seven Premier League matches, beating Manchester City 4-0 at the Etihad last time out. The captains meet now as the trumpets blare. It looks like the hosts will get us under way.
