Tottenham predicted team vs Fulham: Jose Mourinho to make key Gareth Bale decision

Jose Mourinho has some key decisions to make for Tottenham Hotspur's return to Premier League action against Fulham on Wednesday night.

Mourinho will be able to go back to full strength for this match and he's going to have a fresher starting XI than he would have in the week that the Fulham game was originally set to be played.

All of Tottenham's key men were rested for the trip to Marine and can come back into the starting line-up with fresh legs.

Mourinho has already stated that Harry Winks will start the match against Scott Parker's men.

"Honestly, I think only Gio Lo Celso is out," Mourinho said on Tuesday. "Apart from that, I believe maybe [Steven] Bergwijn, maybe [Erik] Lamela... maybe they have a chance to be back.”

The Spurs boss will also have to decide whether Gareth Bale is fit enough to start on the right-hand side after only coming on late in the FA Cup match on Sunday.

Bergwijn, if his recent injury problems aren't hampering him, could get the nod after impressing Mourinho in recent matches, while Lucas Moura got on the scoresheet against the non-leaguers on Sunday.

Toby Alderweireld and Moussa Sissoko only played 45 minutes each at Marine, which means they can also start on Wednesday with little problem if needed.

Some players who took to the pitch on Sunday could also get their chance again at struggling Sheffield United at the weekend.

4-2-3-1: Lloris; Aurier, Sanchez, Dier, Reguilon; Winks, Hojbjerg; Bergwijn, Ndombele, Son; Kane.
