Tottenham face Everton on Friday evening in a game that could play a huge part in deciding the London club’s fate this season.
Tottenham know that a win would once again put them within touching distance of the top four, but a defeat to the Toffees would leave them with a huge mountain to climb to even clinch a Europa League spot.
This won’t be an easy game for Spurs, and if they lose, Everton will leapfrog them in the table.
It’s crucial for Spurs to win this one, and with that in mind, we’ve had a go at predicting Tottenham’s starting XI for this clash.
We think that Jose Mourinho will opt to make two changes from the team that lost 3-1 to Manchester United.
We expect Toby Alderweireld to come in for Eric Dier in the backline, while Moussa Sissoko replaces Giovani Lo Celso in the middle of the park.
Aside from that, the rest of the team remains to the same.
Harry Kane and Heung-Min Son are nigh on undroppable, while injuries to Matt Doherty and Ben Davies mean that the full-backs can’t be rotated.
Perhaps interestingly, we’re backing Lucas Moura to retain his spot in the starting XI for this one with Gareth Bale and Erik Lamela remaining as options on the bench.
