Spurs look to bounce back from derby defeat but injury list still significant
Ange Postecoglou has two fresh injury concerns for Sunday's visit to Everton, with Brennan Johnson and Yves Bissouma both doubts following the mid-week defeat to Arsenal.
Bissouma could be replaced in midfield by James Maddison, with Lucas Bergvall dropping into the No6 role, while Johnson is dealing with a calf issue.
Ben Davies is set to return to the squad having been sidelined with a hamstring strain since the defeat at Bournemouth at the beginning of last month but a start against Hoffenheim in the Europa League on Thursday is perhaps more likely for the Welshman.
Richarlison and Mikey Moore will be in the squad again but Postecoglou is likely to ease the pair back in slowly, meaning Dejan Kulusevski, Heung-min Son and Dominic Solanke will probably continue in the front three.
Timo Werner is set for up to a month on the sidelines with a hamstring injury, while Rodrigo Bentancur (concussion), Micky van de Ven (hamstring), Cristian Romero (calf), Destiny Udogie (hamstring), Guglielmo Vicario (foot), Wilson Odobert (hamstring) are also still out.
Predicted Tottenham XI (4-3-3): Kinsky; Porro, Dragusin, Gray, Spence; Bergvall, Sarr, Maddison; Kulusevski, Solanke, Son
Doubts: Johnson, Bissouma
Injured: Udogie, Romero, Van de Ven, Bentancur, Vicario, Odobert
