Predicted Tottenham Hotspur XI to face Everton in the Premier League
Tottenham Hotspur progressed to the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup with a 2-0 victory over Arsenal in the north London derby on Wednesday night.
The Lilywhites claimed all three points against Burnley last week in the Premier League courtesy of an injury-time winner by Christian Erikson and Mauricio Pochettino’s men will face another tough test when they travel to Goodison Park to lock horns with Everton.
Everton lost 3-1 to Manchester City last week and the Toffees will be looking to get back to winning ways on Sunday but they will have a mountain to climb against an in-form Tottenham unit.
Team News
Eric Dier, Jan Vertonghen (thigh), Mousa Dembele (ankle) and Victor Wanyama (knee) are all ruled out for the weekend clash while Davinson Sanchez will be pushing for a return from his hamstring injury.
Formation: 4-2-3-1
Manager: Mauricio Pochettino
Predicted XI
1. Hugo Lloris (GK)
Paulo Gazzaniga had an impressive outing between the sticks in the Carabao Cup but the Frenchman will be expected to take his position on Sunday.
2. Kieran Trippier (RB)
The Englishman struggled with his crossing against Arsenal but defended with a lot of composure.
3. Toby Alderweireld (CB)
The Belgian made some important interceptions in the Carabao Cup fixture and has always been one of the first names on Pochettino’s team sheet this season.
4. Ben Davies (CB)
He showed against Arsenal that he is more than capable of playing at the heart of the defence and should get another start on Sunday.
5. Danny Rose (LB)
The Englishman kept things tight at the back on Wednesday and showed plenty of intent in the attacking third.
6. Moussa Sissoko (CDM)
The Frenchman has settled down really well in a central role this season and Pochettino should continue to rely on him.
7. Harry Winks (CDM)
The youngster put in an energetic performance against Arsenal and used the ball really well in the central areas of the park.
8. Dele Alli (CAM)
He has been one of the key components of Spurs’ attack and will be high on confidence after netting against Arsenal on Wednesday night.
9. Christian Eriksen (LW)
He scored the winner against Burnley last week and has been the heartbeat of Tottenham’s attack this season.

10. Heing-Min Son (RW)
The Korean has chipped in with valuable goals and assists in recent weeks and Spurs will need him to fire once again.
11. Harry Kane (ST)
He came on as a substitute against Arsenal and set up Alli for the second goal with a delightful pass.
