Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Tottenham Hotspur could line up for Monday's Premier League London derby with Fulham.

Tottenham Hotspur manager Antonio Conte will check on the fitness of Rodrigo Bentancur and Dejan Kulusevski ahead of Monday's Premier League London derby with Fulham at Craven Cottage.

The duo both started Thursday's loss to Manchester City after recovering from injury, but having displayed signs of fatigue, they will need a once-over before any decision is made on their involvement.

Nevertheless, Lucas Moura should be Spurs' only definite absentee with a tendon problem, while fellow attacker Bryan Gil is nursing a knock which will require further assessment.

A change could still occur in the final third, where Kulusevski will certainly start alongside Harry Kane if fit enough, but Son Heung-min once again struggled to perform at the Etihad Stadium.

A well-rested Richarlison should now push to return to the first XI, as will Ryan Sessegnon after Ivan Perisic endured a miserable evening in the 4-2 defeat to the champions.

Emerson Royal capped off a strong performance with a goal and should hold his place, though, while Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Bentancur should man the midfield again.

Clement Lenglet's mistake allowed Riyad Mahrez to score Man City's fourth goal on Thursday, but the Frenchman's fresh legs may be preferred over Ben Davies alongside Eric Dier and Cristian Romero.

The under-fire Hugo Lloris was beaten at his near post for Mahrez's first goal on the night, but the 36-year-old will retain possession of the gloves as Spurs scour the transfer market for a future number one.

Tottenham Hotspur possible starting lineup: Lloris; Romero, Dier, Lenglet; Emerson, Hojbjerg, Bentancur, Sessegnon; Kulusevski, Kane, Richarlison
