Tottenham will face in form Everton on Saturday in 16 o'clock CET. Game come to Spurs after back to back victories against Newcastle and Nottingham Forest. Bad thing is fact that midfielder Yves Bissouma got red card and left back Destiny Udogie collected 5 yellow cards and both will be suspended for this game. Add to that long term injured important players like Van de Ven, Madders and you've got picture. Good thing is fact that according to Tottenham coach Ange Postecoglou right winger Johnson wil be available for this game despite cut with 16 stitches which he earned against his former club Nottingham. If he plays he will play with protection over his head.
Away side come in excellent form. They are in winning row. Their recent victims were Nottingham, Newcastle, Chelsea, Burnley and in those games they didn't concede single goal! Very big contrast compared to Tottenham which players scored at least goal in every game this season. Everton however got knocked out from League Cup on Tuesday on penalties after 1:1 draw against Fulham at Goodison Park. They claim Doucure will not play for them.
I expect Everton will be more than happy to give us more ball possession and to try and catch us on fast transition and counter attacks. They know how to play counter attacks, Sean Dyche learnt them that. They will be like always very dangerous on attacking set pieces. They are experienced, but I think we have better players, but a lot depends on Ange in this game. He usually put Emerson Royal on left when Udogie can't play and that affects our game a lot. Other problem will be who will replace Bossouma? Will that be Skipp or Hojbjerg on number 6 ? Question of all questions is will Dejan Kulusevski play in his favorite #10 role or will he be forced right while Lo Celso take center. If last one happens Everton is big favorite. Neither Lo Celso is good like Dejan in the middle neither Dejan is some super threat on the right wing. I think we will have better chance if Dejan find himself in number 10 role tomorrow.
I hope Tottanham can win this game. I think it will end with something like 2:1 for Spurs.
