Here's the Tottenham team that we reckon Roberto De Zerbi will select to face Everton in the final Premier League game of the club's season
Roberto De Zerbi knows he must get his team selection right as Tottenham host Everton in their final Premier League game on Sunday with their top flight status on the line.
Just two points separate 17th-placed Spurs from West Ham down in the final relegation spot and De Zerbi knows that if his team can win or even draw, due to their superior goal difference, at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium it will keep them up. Otherwise they will have to hope Leeds do them a big favour and stop the Hammers winning their final game of the campaign.
De Zerbi must decide whether to stick with the same starting line-up for the fourth game in a row after the defeat at Chelsea finally ended his team's four-game unbeaten streak.
In goal, Guglielmo Vicario has another week of training under his belt and when football.london asked the Tottenham boss if his compatriot could oust Antonin Kinsky from between the sticks for the final game he would only say with a smile: "You want to know too much."
There could be a decision to make in midfield with Spurs struggling to create chances at Chelsea and they need to progress the ball quicker up the pitch. That could see De Zerbi recall Yves Bissouma into the midfield for the more defensive Joao Palhinha. Bissouma started brightly against Brighton in De Zerbi's first home game before Palhinha performed better in the subsequent away games.

There are also younger midfielders Pape Matar Sarr, Lucas Bergvall and the Spurs supporters' player of the year Archie Gray looking for a start.
Then there is the attack with Dominic Solanke available again but it could be a big ask for him to start and the same goes for James Maddison, who got another 28 minutes under his belt at Chelsea.
Randal Kolo Muani struggled at Stamford Bridge and there is the option for De Zerbi to play either Djed Spence, fresh from his England World Cup call-up, or Pedro Porro in front of the other on the right wing. However, that then takes away the opportunity to bring on fresh legs in the full-back positions as the game wears on.
