The Tottenham team confirmed against Fulham: Llorente starts in front of Sanchez, Rose and Trippier

Mauricio Pochettino gave Fernando Llorente a unique opportunity to qualify for Tottenham against Fulham in the Premier League.

The Spurs travel to Craven Cottage without three of their most fit players, Harry Kane, Moussa Sissoko and Heung-Min Son.

Eric Dier is back on the bench, while Pochettino has chosen to bring back Davinson Sanchez in the back end.

Pochettino seemed to announce Friday that Fernando Llorente was a big favorite to start, and that's the case, with Erik Lamela and Dele Alli playing behind him.

Pochettino also had to decide his right-back with Kieran Trippier who was fighting Sunday for the loss against Manchester United and Serge Aurier being involved in a home incident during the week the manager admitted to being treated privately.

He left with Danny Rose and Trippier, as the crossing ability of the latter could prove essential with Llorente at the front at Craven Cottage. There is also a place on the bench for the attacker of the Kazaiah Sterling Academy.

Here is the Spurs team: Lloris; Alderweireld, Sanchez, Vertonghen; Rose Trippier; Winks Eriksen; Lamela, Alli; Llorente. Subs: Gazzaniga, Nkoudou, Foyth, Davies, Dier, Skipp, Sterling.
