Tottenham vs Everton team news
Tottenham were unable to capitalise on their dominance at Leicester on Monday night, having to settle for a 1-1 draw at the King Power Stadium. The stalemate came at a cost, too, as Rodrigo Bentancur was forced off following a nasty head injury, with the Uruguayan absent for Saturday's game.
Additionally, Dominic Solanke has been ruled out for Spurs on Saturday owing to an ankle injury, with Richarlison and Dejan Kulusevski options to deputise for the summer signing.
Yves Bissouma is available having been banned by the north London side, though he may have to settle for a spot on the bench with Archie Gray tipped to take Bentancur's place in the middle of the park.
Everton have a number of injury concerns ahead of Saturday's game with Jarrad Branthwaite out and James Tarkowski a doubt. Ashley Young is also suspended, with Sean Dyche facing a selection dilemma.
