Everton starting XI: Olsen; Godfrey, Mina, Keane, Digne; Davies, Doucoure; Iwobi, Sigurdsson, Richarlison; Calvert-Lewin.

Everton substitutes: Virginia, Tyrer, Holgate, Nkounkou, Bernard, Coleman, Onyango.

Tottenham Hotspur starting XI: Lloris; Doherty, Alderweireld, Sanchez, Davies; Hojbjerg, Ndombele; Lamela, Lucas, Bergwijn; Son.

Tottenham Hotspur substitutes: Hart, Dier, Rodon, Tanganga, Winks, Sissoko, Alli, Kane, Vinicius.

Everton have Robin Olsen in goal again tonight with Jordan Pickford still out, whilst it appears to be a back four ahead of him in Ben Godfrey, Yerry Mina, Michael Keane and Lucas Digne.

Tom Davies and Abdoulaye Doucoure start in midfield, with Gylfi Sigurdsson given more of a creative license behind Dominic Calvert-Lewin.

Alex Iwobi features out wide with Richarison on the opposite flank, whilst it’s a youthful bench with Joao Virginia, Harry Tyrer, Niels Nkounkou and Tyler Onyango joining Mason Holgate, Seamus Coleman and Bernard.

Tottenham go with Hugo Lloris between the sticks, behind a back four of Matt Doherty, Toby Alderweireld, Davinson Sanchez and Ben Davies.

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Tanguy Ndombele continue as a midfield partnership having impressed together against West Bromwich Albion on Sunday, with Lucas Moura a number 10 again.

That means Erik Lamela and Steven Bergwijn feature on the flanks, supporting lone striker Son Heung-min as Harry Kane is only on the bench.

Dele Alli is also a substitute tonight, joining Joe Hart, Eric Dier, Joe Rodon, Japhet Tanganga, Harry Winks, Moussa Sissoko, Kane and Carlos Vinicius – which means Gareth Bale isn’t even in the matchday squad after a difficult season to date.
