Tottenham Hotspur kept their season alive with a Europa League win on Thursday night and it will be interesting to see how they respond back on Premier League duty at Fulham.
Ange Postecoglou's job was probably riding on overturning that 1-0 deficit against AZ Alkmaar and relief would have been the over-riding emotion after their 3-1 victory.
With several stars coming back from injury, things are now looking a bit rosier in the Aussie's garden and the bookies still make Tottenham favourites in the outright Europa League market.
They have nothing to play for domestically but Spurs will still be looking to boost morale by climbing up the table in the last few months of the season.
Fulham away is a tough fixture off the back of a Thursday night game though and the Cottagers will fancy their chances of piling on more Premier League pain for Postecoglou.
Marco Silva's side are having another impressive campaign and a win would keep them in the hunt for European football next season.
Fulham are also in the mix for FA Cup glory so Silva will be looking to head into next weekend's quarter-final off the back of a win.
How the bookies view it: Tired Tottenham the outsiders
With Spurs having a draining game on Thursday, it's no surprise to see them as 12/5 outsiders with BoyleSports. Fulham are 10/11 favourites and the draw pays 11/4.
Recent head to head: Spurs on top
These sides drew 1-1 at Tottenham Hotspur stadium earlier in the season but Spurs have held the upper hand in recent years. They've won six of the last 10 meetings and lost just once.
Players to watch: Emile fired up
Former Arsenal kid Emile Smith Rowe will be out to hurt his old North London rivals in this one. The playmaker is 5/2 at BoyleSportd to add to his five goal tally this term while Unibet price him at a tempting 9/5 to either score or assist.
Postecoglou will probably freshen things up a bit so it's hard to predict who will start in attack. January signing Mathys Tel could get the nod and he's 3/1 at BoyleSports for anytime scorer.
Probable line-ups
Tottenham's injury worries are easing, with only Radu Dragusin, Kevin Danso, Ben Davies, Richarlison and Dejan Kulusevski on the sidelines. But Postecoglou will be wary of pushing the likes of Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven too hard after their returns and could freshen things up a bit.
Fulham winger Adama Traore missed their last game with an injury while Reiss Nelson, Kenny Tete and Harry Wilson are also out.
Fulham: Leno, Castagne, Bassey, Andersen, Robinson, Lukic, Pereira, Berge, Iwobi, Smith Rowe, Jimenez.
Tottenham: Vicario, Porro, Gray, Romero, Udogie, Bentancur, Bissouma, Maddison, Odobert, Johnson, Tel.
Anything else catch the eye?
Fulham have a much more settled side than Spurs so I fancy them to win this one. To boost their price to odds-against, combining a Fulham win with over 1.5 goals pays 5/4 at BoyleSports.
It ended in a 1-1 draw when these sides faced off earlier this season, with both goals coming after the break. Backing most goals to come in the second half appeals here too at 10/11, with Tottenham likely to tire.
Postecoglou's side are usually pretty good value for corners, although they let Slips Tips down in that market on Thursday and also ruined one of our Super Singles. We saw 18 corners when these sides last faced off so try backing over 11.5 flag kicks in this one at 21/20.
