The FA Cup returns this weekend as sixteen clubs duke it out for a place in the quarter-finals of the competition. With just two of the eight Premier League clubs fortunate enough to be at home for the ties, the potential for upsets is massive.

One such team hoping to provide a cup shock is Fulham, who host Mauricio Pochettino's Spurs side at Craven Cottage on Sunday afternoon.

The Cottagers are enjoying a decent season, much improved from the last campaign, and currently still have a chance of reaching the Championship play-offs.

They're definitely a danger to a Spurs side coming off the back of a demoralising defeat at Anfield and a shock loss in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday.

In the last round of the FA Cup, Pochettino's men struggled to see off lowly Wycombe Wanderers at White Hart Lane. So Fulham, who defeated Premier League Hull 4-1, will fancy their chances again in front of a hopeful home crowd.

Here are THREE Fulham danger men that could dump Spurs out of the competition...

Tom Cairney

Tom Cairney is enjoying a fantastic season at Craven Cottage and has been one of the side's most consistent performers in 2016/17.

The attacking midfielder has four assists and a goal in his last ten appearances and was a key part of their impressive 4-1 over Hull in the last round. Overall, he's scored six and assisted six in 33 appearances, which isn't a bad return at all for a midfielder.

His passing ability and threat from set-pieces could provide a headache for Mauricio Pochettino and special attention will have to be paid to the 26-year-old or they run the risk of being punished.

Having one of the best seasons of his career so far, if Fulham are to get anything at all from the match, he'll likely be at the heart of it.

Stefan Johansen

A summer signing from Celtic last year, Stefan Johansen hasn't wasted any time in settling into life in London. Like Tom Cairney, he provides a significant threat from midfield and has the ability to pierce through the Spurs defence. His eight goals and six assists, primarily from a defensive midfield position, attest to that.

Although he eventually lost his way at Celtic, he was once their star man and won Player of the Year awards ahead of the likes of Virgil van Dijk in Scotland in 2015.

With 33 caps for Norway, he's well used to playing against elite defences and can certainly give Pochettino's side a run for their money on Sunday.

He's been a key performer in this season's FA Cup too, scoring in the Third and Fourth Rounds against Cardiff City and Hull City. One to watch certainly.

Sone Aluko

If those threats through the central area aren't enough for Spurs, Fulham also boast potential match-winners on the flank too, most notably tricky winger Sone Aluko.

The skillful 27-year-old has directly contributed to ten goals for the Cottagers this season and netted in the last round against Hull, scoring the vital opening goal.

He can be deployed on the left but primarily plays on the right-hand side. If playing in a right wing role on Sunday, he could be going up against Ben Davies, who looked decidedly ropey at Anfield last weekend.

That could prove to be one of the key duels of the entire match; if Davies can't get a handle on Aluko then he has a great chance of doing some damage behind the Spurs defensive line.
