Team News and Possible Line Ups

Tottenham Hotspur manager Thomas Frank has been forced to juggle selection issues through a testing October period. Djed Spence is expected to return in defence after Archie Gray took his place in midweek. Ben Davies, Yves Bissouma, Dejan Kulusevski, Radu Dragusin, Kota Takai and James Maddison are all still out. Wilson Odobert picked up a knock against Monaco, making his involvement uncertain and further stretching Tottenham Hotspur options.

Everton are boosted by the return of Jack Grealish, who was ineligible to face his parent club Manchester City last week. His creativity will be key in a side that has improved significantly under Moyes at home. However, Jarrad Branthwaite will miss out after undergoing hamstring surgery, with Nathan Patterson also sidelined. The balance between defensive reinforcement and attacking threat will be central to the Everton approach, particularly against a Tottenham Hotspur team typically comfortable in transition play under Frank.

Prediction and Head to Head Insight

Tottenham are the only team yet to lose away from home in the Premier League this season, but that record could come under threat on Sunday. A pair of shaky performances against Villa and Monaco has left Frank with tricky questions to answer. They struggled to create chances in both of their last two outings, and Frank has not had much time on the training ground to work on a fix. With Grealish back in the side, Everton will be well placed to punish an ineffective attack. Expect a cagey affair. One goal could make all the difference. Everton to win, 1,0.

This meeting marks Tottenham Hotspur first visit to Everton newly built stadium. Their final outing at Goodison Park brought frustration as an Archie Gray own goal helped Everton to a decisive advantage before half time.
