Tottenham predicted lineup vs Everton - Premier League | OneFootball

Ange Postecoglou has so far been given the benefit of the doubt from the Tottenham Hotspur board, but Spurs can no longer wait until they're injury-free to start picking up points.

Their 'success' in the cup competitions this term means Postecoglou has some credit in the bank, but there's no denying that a five-point return from 27 available is dire.

The Greek-Australian coach has admitted that his team's form "can't be accepted by anyone at the club" while also suggesting there's "no magic cure" for an upsurge.

Tottenham have to start winning Premier League games again, by hook or by crook.

Here's how Spurs could line up against Everton on Sunday.

GK: Antonin Kinsky - The 21-year-old endured a tough outing in the North London Derby, but Postecoglou will continue to encourage his bravery/borderline recklessness in possession. The talent's there.

RB: Pedro Porro - Porro's form has fallen off a cliff this term, but Spurs' defensive absences means there are no viable alternatives.

CB: Radu Dragusin - The Romanian international has enjoyed an extended run in the team and that will continue this weekend.

CB: Archie Gray - Gray has been able to hold his head up high amid Tottenham's dire run. The teenager has slotted in seamlessly into an unfamiliar role.

LB: Djed Spence - Another bright spark in recent weeks, Spence was impressive in midweek and he should continue in the team even when Destiny Udogie returns from injury. Spence is the man to offer Porro respite.

CM: Yves Bissouma - With Rodrigo Bentancur's return date unknown, Bissouma will likely get the nod again at the base of midfield despite being pulled at half-time on Wednesday. Inconsistency continues to plague his Tottenham career.

CM: Lucas Bergvall - For better or worse, the young Swede embodies the chaos of 'Angeball'. Bergvall has proven himself to be fearless with plenty of talent, but the midfielder still has a lot to learn.

CM: James Maddison - Having starred at the Emirates last season, Postecoglou was desperate for Maddison to replicate such brilliance in the second half on Wednesday. However, the English playmaker was unable to inspire Spurs to points in the derby.

RW: Dejan Kulusevski - Kulusevski has been the club's Player of the Year up to this point, but his performances in Spurs' recent outings point towards a man in need of a break. There will be no such respite this weekend.

ST: Dominic Solanke - Spurs have wasted a lot of money in recent years, but it'd be incredibly harsh to include Solanke in the list of pricey failures. The summer arrival has enjoyed an excellent debut season.

LW: Son Heung-min - Son scored again in the North London Derby, but his performances have not been up-to-par this season. The signs of decline are distinct.
