The Tottenham Hotspur team has been announced for the Premier League fixture against Everton.
Tottenham make their first-ever visit to the brand new Hill Dickinson Stadium in search of their first win in their last three matches.
Everton are still unbeaten at their new home after four matches and thankfully, Spurs’ away form has been respectable, a stark contrast to what fans have had to endure in N17.
Thomas Frank’s side were once again considerably below par in midweek when they drew 0-0 with Monaco in the Champions League, a result they could have easily lost if it were not for the heroics of goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario.
The Toffees have won just one of their last six outings, but sit comfortably in mid-table having seen a vast improvement since David Moyes returned as manager.
The Tottenham Hotspur team vs Everton
Tottenham are once again without Cristian Romero due to an adductor strain, which has kept him out since the 2-1 defeat to Aston Villa.

Tottenham need to get their act together and fast
Tottenham have looked way below average in recent matches, especially in attacking areas with his side showing a massive lack of creativity.
The reality is that Spurs cannot afford to take any more time to get their act together when you look at who they will face in their five Premier League matches following today’s fixture against Everton.
Three London derbies, the visit of in-form Manchester United and a midweek trip to Newcastle will certainly put the Tottenham squad to the test over the coming weeks.
