Tottenham Hotspur will face Fulham in the Premier League on Sunday.
Spurs secured a 4-0 win against Manchester City in their previous league game.
Tottenham will be disappointed with the 2-2 draw against AS Roma in the Europa League on Thursday, but they need to bounce back quickly with a strong performance.
A late goal from Mats Hummels meant Spurs failed to pick up all three points.
Dejan Kulusevski has been simply brilliant for Spurs, and he received praise from the Italian media for his performance against Roma.
Ange Postecoglou has spoken about the 24-year-old in his pre-match press conference, where he shared his admiration for the player’s unbelievable stamina.
The Spurs boss agreed with a journalist that Kulusevski has an incredible focus on self-improvement that can be compared to Harry Kane and Cristiano Ronaldo.
Postecoglou said: “Yeah, absolutely spot on. He’s very ambitious about how good he can be, and that’s a great thing.
“He’s still relatively young, and for his position – there’s a lot of improvement in him.
“I’ve just got a feeling with Deki that he’s not going to settle for any level apart from being the absolute best, and it’s great for us.”
Kulusevki has been impressive for both club and country, and he is absolutely vital to Tottenham’s plans this season.
He has already scored two goals and provided seven assists in all competitions, and Postecoglou will want him to contribute more to the side.
Spurs are sixth in the Premier League table with 19 points, only three points behind Chelsea and Arsenal and four points behind Manchester City.
Postecoglou has admitted that some of the results could have been better, but they are still in a very good position.
