Team Previews, Form and Standout Players

Both sides have been poor this season, but it is Tottenham Hotspur who head into this game in the better form across their last five games. They have won twice across all competitions, including an impressive win over Everton’s local rivals Liverpool in the Carabao Cup. Everton have found it difficult putting the ball past opposition goalkeepers as of late. That theme could continue this Sunday even though Tottenham are riddled with injury problems.

Everton Preview

Formation: 4-2-3-1

Predicted Line-Up: Jordan Pickford; Vitaliy Mykolenko, Jarrad Branthwaite, James Tarkowski (c), Ashley Young; Idrissa Gana Gueye, Orel Mangala; Iliman Ndiaye, Abdoulaye Doucouré, Jesper Lindstrøm; Dominic Calvert-Lewin

Everton once again have had an abysmal start to the season, finding themselves in another relegation battle in successive years. After 20 games they sit in 16th with three wins, nine losses and eight draws. Those matches have left them with 17 points, just a single point afloat from the bottom three. Sean Dyche has been given the sack and now 23 years on since his first stint in charge, David Moyes is back at the helm. He will be trying his best to get the most out of his players. Stepping up The Toffees this season has been the duo of Dwight McNeil and Iliman Ndiaye. The pair of them have found the back of the net three times each. Dominic Calvert-Lewin is one goal behind with two so he can equally be the one to make the difference for Everton this Sunday.

Tottenham Hotspur Preview

Formation: 4-3-3

Predicted Line-Up: Antonín Kinský; Djed Spence, Archie Gray, Drăgușin, Pedro Porro; Lucas Bergvall, Pape Matar Sarr, James Maddison; Heung-min Son (c), Dominic Solanke, Dejan Kulusevski

Tottenham Hotspur have had a poor start to the season, finding themselves just outside the top of the table now around the mid-point of the campaign. After 21 games they sit in 14th place with seven wins, 11 losses and three draws. Those matches have left them with 24 points, sharing that tally with 15th placed Crystal Palace, goal difference the reason as to why they are not lower down the standings. A win and results going their way could see them overtake both West Ham United and Manchester United to climb closer to the top half of the table. In the goals for “Spuds” has been midfielder James Maddison and captain Heung-min Son. The pair of them have amassed 12 goal contributions each. Not too far behind that number is striker Dominic Solanke with 10 contributions and winger Brennan Johnson has put his name on the scoresheet seven times, the attacking options putting on great displays. In what seems like a make or break game for Ange Postecoglou, he will need them all at their best this Sunday.
