da blaze casino： Both Everton and Tottenham Hotspur are in worrying form at the moment, making this game a must-win for both sides. It’s tough to see who is under more pressure out of Mauricio Pochettino and Marco Silva at the moment, as a loss for either of them would send them closer to the relegation zone.
da supremo： However, Everton restored themselves to winning ways in midweek, with a convincing 2-0 victory over Watford in the EFL Cup. Although, this came just days after the club endured their sixth league defeat of the season in a 3-2 loss to Brighton & Hove Albion.
Now, with the visit of Spurs, Marco Silva is expected to ring a few changes to the side from that midweek win.
Three changes are expected for Everton with the back four likely to return to what it was at the Amex Stadium. This comes after Yerry Mina was brought against Watford on Tuesday.
Silva did state that the Colombian trained with the team, however, considering he came off injured again, it’s perhaps time for him to rest. This could, therefore, keep Mason Holgate in the side – the 23-year-old scored against the Hornets.
Another notable change Silva could make is the return of Djibril Sidibe in replace of Seamus Coleman. The Irishman has been in poor form lately, picking up two red cards in 10 days during October.
In midfield is where the manager has struggled to piece together a proper winning recipe. In recent times, Silva has gone with Tom Davies and Morgan Schneiderlin, both of which have struggled during parts of the season.
Schneiderlin’s dismal 6.07 rating so far and Davies’ slender 200 minutes in the league should force in Fabian Delph alongside Gomes – the Aston Villa man has averaged 2.5 tackles per game for the Blues.
Up top, Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s goal against the Seagulls was his fifth of the season and he deserves to keep his spot as a result. Elsewhere, Richarlison scored against his old side in midweek and remains a threat in front of goal – the Brazilian now has 18 goals for the club.
One man who has had a resurgence recently is Theo Walcott. The winger has two assists in his last three games and should keep his place as a result of the injury to Bernard.
