Team News
Everton
David Moyes is boosted by the return of influential attacker Jack Grealish, who was ineligible last week. Nevertheless, the defence is weakened by injuries to Jarrad Branthwaite, who requires surgery, and Nathan Patterson. Michael Keane is expected to continue alongside James Tarkowski.
Tottenham Hotspur
Thomas Frank faces a major injury crisis with nine first-team players unavailable, including Cristian Romero, Destiny Udogie, James Maddison, and Yves Bissouma. On a positive note, Randal Kolo Muani is fit again and could feature from the bench, adding much-needed attacking depth.
Form
Everton
The Toffees have won just one of their last six league matches, slipping to 12th after a promising start. Their strength lies at home; indeed, they remain unbeaten at their new stadium this season (W1 D3). Moreover, Everton have won their last five Premier League games played on a Sunday.
Tottenham Hotspur
Spurs sit sixth after their seven-match unbeaten run was ended by Aston Villa last weekend. Despite mounting injuries, their away form has been exceptional. In fact, they boast the best away record in the division, remaining unbeaten on their travels this season (W3 D1).
Predicted Lineups
Everton predicted XI: Pickford; O’Brien, Keane, Tarkowski, Mykolenko; Garner, Gueye; Ndiaye, Dewsbury-Hall, Grealish; Beto
