Fulham manager Roy Hodgson is targeting another heavyweight Premier League scalp when Tottenham come calling at Craven Cottage today.
Fulham's 3-0 victory over Manchester United last weekend was one of the most impressive results of the season so far, and it came from a side that has already seen off Liverpool.
Hodgson hopes capital rivals Spurs will also come unstuck, even though he is a great admirer of their team, and their manager.
"I'm pleased to be playing Tottenham on the back of a couple of good results against FC Basel and Manchester United because they are in excellent form," Hodgson said yesterday.
"In fact, they've been in excellent form since Harry Redknapp has been manager there.
"He rescued them from relegation and it's been upwards ever since. We have an enormous amount of respect for them.
"They've bought very wisely, signing some excellent players, and have invested very heavily to have a good season.
"But it's good to be playing at Craven Cottage so soon after the Manchester United game."
