Fulham boss Roy Hodgson has spoken of his admiration for Harry Redknapp and the work he's done at Tottenham.
The Cottagers face Tottenham to kickoff their festive programme.
"I'm pleased to be playing Tottenham on the back of a couple of good results against Basle and Manchester United because they are in excellent form," he said.
"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."
