Tottenham Hotspur – Fulham

Good evening. Join us from 19.30 (GMT) for live commentary of the FA Cup quarter final replay between Tottenham and Fulham from White Hart Lane.

So, tonight's line-ups are as follows...

Tottenham (4-4-2): Gomes, Corluka, Dawson, Bassong, Assou-Ekotto, Kranjcar, Modric, Palacios, Bale, Crouch, Gudjohnsen

Fulham (4-4-1-1): Schwarzer, Kelly, Hughes, Hangeland, Konchesky, Duff, Murphy, Etuhu, Davies, Gera, Zamora

Wembley beckons for tonight's victors, as both sides aim for a season-defining appearance in the FA Cup semi final, where they'll meet Portsmouth.

Tottenham recall Wilson Palacios after the central midfielder was rested for Saturday's victory at Stoke.

Jermain Defoe is out with hamstring trouble and Younes Kaboul is cup-tied but David Bentley and Danny Rose are fit. Roman Pavlyuchenko is on the bench.

Brede Hangeland has recovered from a chest injury for Fulham, after missing the defeat to Manchester City.

Roy Hodgson sticks with Bobby Zamora and Zoltan Gera after substituting the pair on Sunday.

Spurs are in their usual lillywhite shirts and Fulham play in red. And it's the away side who kick things off...

Fulham kick from left to right and immediately Konchesky pumps it straight to Gomes from his own half.

Bale drives into the Fulham box after beating Kelly at the corner flag. He could have gone down under Kelly's challenge, as Fulham clear their lines.

Palacios, who is one yellow card away from a 2 game suspension, is brought down in his own half.

Krancjar wins a throw for Spurs deep in Fulham's half.

A promising move for Spurs breaks down, but the home side keep possession albeit with a long back pass to Gomes.

First shot of the game. Murphy hit it from 25 yards after being teed up by Duff. Decent effort by Murphy but straight at the keeper.

Gera had a sniff at goal there but Dawson recovered with a good tackle.

Gera and Duff link again for Fulham. Gera played the ball out to Duff who put in a dangerous cross but came to nothing. Gera could have turned and shot on the edge of the box himself there.

Palacios strikes a decent left footed shot wide of the far post, the shot was from just outside the box after Murphy backed off and invited it. Decent shot by Palacios.

Davies hits a solid shot which Gomes gathers at the second attempt. Decent height for the keeper but Spurs let him through very easily there.

Pretty even start at White Hart Lane, but it's the away side have crafted the better opprtunities in the first 11 minutes.

Spurs are targeting Kelly down their left. Assou-Ekotto and Bale have combined sevral times already. And Kelly concedes a corner.

Gudjohnson sets up Modric with a neat square pass but the Croatian pulls his shot wide from 20 yards.

Zamora battles through a few challenges before releasing Gera through the middle. But his pass is overhit. Gomes gathers.

Modric dashes away from Murphy but loses his feet in the box. Beautifully worked by Modric and Gudjohnson again.

1-0 FULHAM!

Great finish by Zamora. Duff ducks and weaves into a good position and plays a perfect throughball to Zamora, who hits it first time with his left foot and Fulham have their noses in front.

Harry Redknapp looks pretty peeved with that.

Spurs seem to be struggling in midfield, as Fulham are not giving them a second to settle.

Assou-Ekotto looks hopefully for Crouch, but Crouch cannot bring the ball under control.

Bale finds Gudjohnson in a great position on the left whose cross is intercepted. Good move by Spurs.

Gudjohnson and Modric are continuing to link well. Modric then found Krancjar on the right but his cross is horribly overhit. Fulham goal kick.

Duff wins a free kick for the visitors down the Spurs left, but hits it straight out for a Spurs goal kick.

Crouch is claiming handball after it hit Kelly's hand in the box. The ref waves play on and Gudjohnson tries to improvise and back heel it towards goal. Schwarzer gathers.

Gudjohnson forces a corner, which Modric takes. The corner evades everyone.

Modric hits the post for Spurs. Crouch came deep and chested it to Bale. Bale's cross to Gudjohnson is chested in the path of Modric who hits it first time with his left foot, and it grazes off the outside of the left post.

Davies and Gera link brilliantly for Fulham. Gera finds Zamora who tries and inswinging cross from the right but it's just too far for Davies. Great play by Fulham.

Crouch has a snapshot from the edge of the Fulham box. Chance out of nothing for Tottenham but the shot was low and never worried the keeper.

Etuhu has fouled Krancjar in a dangerous area. Bale to take the free kick.

And Bale's free kick didn't threaten the goal.

Gudjohnson finds himself with his back to goal in the box and is surrounded by red shirts. He somehow forces a corner.

The corner is cleared but Spurs keep up the pressure.

Fulham finally hack it away.

Spurs are cranking up the pressure in the last ten minutes of the second half. Palacios had the chance to feed Krancjar put overhit the throughball. Fulham are frustrating Spurs here.

Assou-Ekotto concedes a cheap free kick to Duff. Good chance for a cross into the box for Fulham.

Duff hits a great cross in, but Gomes meets it with a firm and confident punch.

The ball drops to Murphy who hits a shot high and wide from outside the box. The Spurs fans jeered that.

Bale forces a corner for Spurs after his free kick comes off Etuhu.

Crouch back heels it beautifully to Bale whose cross is slightly too high for Gudjohnson. Good play by Spurs again.

Spurs just seem to be lacking that final ball at the moment and have been the dominant side.

Crouch was through there but Hangeland recovered with a great tackle. Tottenham are getting closer.

Davies forces a corner off Dawson.

And now Hangeland is busy at the other end. His header from Duff's corner flies just over. Good effort.

Assou-Ekotto loses the ball on the halfway line after clowning around attempting a flick of some sort. The resulting period of possession sees Gera cross for Zamora who heads over and should do better. Lovely football by the away side who look so comfortable in possession.

And that is that for the first half. A faint ring of boos around White Hart Lane but Fulham merit their lead, despite Spurs having some good moments.

Fulham are on a high at the moment and that was certainly another solid half of football from them. Spurs will be looking to improve and bring Crouch into the game a bit more.

Join me again in 15 minutes for the second half.

Spurs double sub: Bentley and Huddlestone for Kranjcar and Assou-Ekotto

Redknapp isn't messing around is he? A double substitution at half time. And Spurs kick off the second half, kicking from left to right.

Immediately Bale is causing problems for Fulham down their right.

GOAL! TOTTENHAM! 1-1

Immediate impact by the substitute. Bentley has whipped the ball in from the left and it misses everyone and flies straight in.

Clearly a cross but Spurs won't care about that.

Yellow card: Kelly (Fulham) for a foul on Bale.

Bale is on fire! He lets fly from the edge of the box on the half volley. Tremendous effort. Just over.

Bale is playing left back in this second half but is causing all kinds of problems.

Fulham counter attack, Gera finds Davies from the right who slides in front of Corluka but his shot is tame.

Corluka has stayed down after clashing with Davies and that gives everyone a breather.

Going back to Kelly's yellow card that was for a foul on Bale in the run up to Bentley's goal. The free kick given for Kelly's late tackle on Bale led to the free kick (and the goal).

Bentley tries his luck again with a free kick from a similar position. the shot was creeping inside the near post this time but Schwarzer saves to his right.

Spurs sub: Pavlyuchenko on for Corluka

Corluka has had to hobble off for Spurs and they are forced into a third sub already. Bentley is now playing right back, where he will have to stay, and Pavlyuchenko is up front with Crouch.

I'm assuming Gudjohnson has dropped back into midfield. This is a very different side who started the game for Spurs.

Bentley has broken forward for Spurs and whipped in a tempting cross from the right. The ball fizzed across the Fulham goal but no one could make contact.

Spurs are playing great football. Huddlestone and Modric linked and the former's pass found Pavlyuchenko but the Russian got the ball stuck under his feet and could only hit his shot over the bar.

Bassong and Zamora are scuffling here!

And both have been booked. Zamora was holding onto Bassong who lost his rag and hit out at Zamora. Handbags really.

2-1 TOTTENHAM!

Bentley again at the heart of things for Spurs. He crosses to the far post and Pavlyuchenko rasps in from close range with his left foot. Fantastic play by Bentley.

Zamora is walking a tight-rope here, he fouls Bale on the halfway line and some refs may have taken exception to that.

The Spurs fans are in full voice now! Fulham are behind in the FA Cup for the first time this season.

And Pavlyuchenko is at it again. He broke alone down the left for Spurs and forced a smart save at Schwarzer's near post. Corner.

The corner is headed out by Etuhu and Modric blasts a powerful low shot but it's central and saved by the Australian goalkeeper.

Fulham are attempting to re-find their tempo as Zamora is in the Spurs box and claiming handball by Bassong. It wasn't handball.

Bentley looks super confident and is toying with Konchesky.

GOAL! 3-1 SPURS!

Gudjohnson finishes a great move for Spurs. Crouch and Modric combine brilliantly, the latter feeds Gudjohnson who takes it round the keeper and taps in. Classy finish.

And Spurs aren't taking their foot off the pedal and are attacking again. I don't know what Redknapp said at halftime but it's worked a treat for the home side. Fulham are being rumbled!

Crouch sidesteps Etuhu and fires in a great low right footed shot from outside the box. That was close to the fourth.

Fulham sub: Dempsey on for Kelly.

Duff forces a top save from Gomes. Duff hits it on the half volley and Gomes makes an instinctive save to his right. Good shot good save.

Spurs have a long period of possession resulting in an overhit ball by Gudjohnson to Bale who was haring down the left flank. Spurs look comfortable but in typical Spurs style, don't expect them to kill this game off.

Palacios loses the ball for Spurs and Dempsey gets the ball from Murphy. The American finds a yard outside the box and his right footed shot to the far post is deflected out for a corner.

The corner is cleared by Spurs.

Fulham sub: Okaka Chuku on for Zamora.

Hodgson has shuffled things around, as Zamora was looking tired. Dempsey is now effectively playing as a second striker. Gera is on the left.

Fulham are raining shots on the Spurs goal now. Okaka Chuku couldn't make contact with the ball under pressure from Dawson and Palacios. The ball fell to Duff whose shot was wide. Fulham are claiming a corner but it's a goal kick.

Gera tries his luck, but his shot was never going to trouble Gomes.

The atmosphere is a little less buoyant than it was 5 minutes ago. A "Spurs wobble" is surely inevitable.

Duff is fouled by Bale and Fulham will put this in the box.

The ball is put in the box and crucially hooked clear by Bale. But Fulham win another free kick, 25 yards out. Murphy looks like he wants to shoot here.

Instead he clips it in for Dempsey but it's too close to Gomes.

Dempsey had a great chance to release Okaka Chuku but the forward was offside. Dempsey knew this, delayed his pass, but the chance was gone. Infact, Dempsey's pass hit Gudjohnson and the Icelandic international is down, apparently winded.

Okaka Chuku fails to return the favour as Dempsey is in a great position. Terrible play by Okaka Chuku, and I think that's what Dempsey is telling him now!

Okaka Chuku is offiside from Duff's pass.

Gera is fouled on the Fulham left. Chance to whip the ball in here.

Gomes punches clear but it's another Fulham throw.

Fulham continue to attack but Spurs are clearing everything.

As we enter injury time the Spurs fans cheer: "WEMBLEY WEMBLEY...."

And only seconds remain...

Bassong is down but Spurs are surely just 2 minutes from Wembley. Bassong is hobbling off, looks to be an ankle injury.

Huddlestone is playing at centre-back and is heading everything clear at the moment.

Etuhu creeps into the box but his header is wide, and that is probably the last chance for Fulham.

And that's it! Spurs win 3-1 and will face Portsmouth in the FA Cup semi-final at Wembley.

Spurs deserve their win in the end. The substitutions of Bentley, Huddlestone and Pavlyuchenko changed the game.

Bentley's quality on the right was telling and the crosses he put in were top quality, in front of the onlooking Fabio Capello.

Fulham looked like this was one game too far for them given their recent efforts with such a small squad.

But with Everton defeating Spurs's rivals for fourth place in the Premier League Man City, tonight, it has been a perfect night for Tottenham.

Tottenham march on, and a interesting match up with Redknapp's former club, Portsmouth, await.
