Tottenham Hotspur faces Everton in a game of intriguing styles at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday. The visitors have secured four straight Premier League victories and will be looking to continue their fine run. However, they exited the Carabao Cup in midweek after losing to Fulham on penalties. Despite Spurs’ excellent record against Everton, Ange’s side has their work cut out due to their extensive injury list and suspensions.
Tottenham’s goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario has been impressive, securing five clean sheets in the Premier League since his arrival in the summer. The Spaniard, Pedro Porro, has been thriving in the starting lineup, while Cristian Romero and Ben Davies have been solid in the heart of defense. Brazilian full-back Emerson Royal will be crucial in providing defensive stability.
In midfield, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg will play a key role at the base, with Yves Bissouma and Rodrigo Bentancur unlikely to feature until February. Pape Matar Sarr’s return from injury has boosted Tottenham’s midfield potency, and Dejan Kulusevski will look to outwit Everton’s imposing midfield. Winger Brennan Johnson, who suffered a head injury, is expected to make a return and provide an attacking threat from the right flank.
Upfront, Richarlison is enjoying his best spell since returning from surgery, having scored three goals in two games. Son Heung-min has been ubiquitous this season and is leading the team with his exceptional performances. The captain is enjoying a bounce-back season after playing through pain in the previous season.
Angie Postecoglou will hope his team can continue their recent form and secure a positive result against Everton. The match promises to be an exciting clash of styles and tactics on Saturday and will be a test for both teams as they look to continue their winning streaks.
