Spurs aiming for a home recovery

Last updated : 17 September 2006 By SpursMAD

So far this season whenever Didier Zokora has been named in Martin Jol's starting line-up Tom Huddlestone has also been in the starting 16. The England Under 21 midfielder even started his first competitive match for the club alongside Zokora, on Thursday against Slavia Prague.

Huddlestone who is hoping to be involved in his first home game of the season today, said of Tottenham's next opponents: "Fulham have started the season fairly well, while we haven't started the best."

Assistant boss Chris Hughton said: "Fulham struggled to win games away from home last season but on a number of occasions they were pleased with their away performances, just not the result. However, they won at Newcastle last time out.

Jermaine Jenas, Tottenham's leading goalscorer after five games, said: "Fulham had a great result at St James Park last weekend and not many teams have done that away to Newcastle."

Michael Brown hasn't been back to White Hart Lane since his move to Fulham in January, and Hughton was himself involved in a touchline altercation with Fulham's Luis Boa Morte last season.

He added: "Michael was very well thought of here at Spurs. Boa Morte has showed his versatility of late to play on the right or more in field.

"Queudrue was a good acquisition from Middlesbrough, Knight has played a number of games."
