Everton vs Tottenham Hotspur match preview
The calm after the storm that has been Tottenham Hotspur during the international break.
16 days ago, Spurs threw away a 3-1 lead at Southampton, conceding a stoppage time penalty as it ended 3-3.
Following full time, Antonio Conte criticised the players, the board, the ownership, the clubβs culture and just about everything else he could think of.
Unsurprisingly, this didnβt go down very well although, far more surprisingly, it took over a week for his inevitable departure to be announced.
Then, this week, director of football Fabio Paratici was banned from all footballing activities worldwide, which makes directing football operations quite tough one would imagine.
The club appears to be falling apart but, for now, Cristian Stellini will take charge of a team who actually start the weekend fourth, so still have plenty to play for.
Given all of that, Everton will fancy their chances of a vital victory of their own in this Monday night fixture.
The Toffees twice battled back to draw with Chelsea last time out, with Abdoulaye DoucourΓ© bundling home an equaliser, before Ellis Simms snatched a point in the last minute with a composed finish.
Sean Dycheβs team thereby moved up to 14th and are unbeaten in three, having drawn with Nottingham Forest and beaten Brentford.
Under Dyche, theyβve won three of four home matches, all by the same 1-0 scoreline.
Tottenham meantime are winless in four visits to Goodison Park, memorably beaten 5-4 on Merseyside in the FA Cup during lockdown.
So, can Everton pull further clear of the drop zone with a win?
Everton team news
Despite Ellis Simmsβ goal off the bench at Stamford Bridge, Demarai Gray will continue up front, with Dominic Calvert-Lewin not expected to be back particularly soon.
In fact, Sean Dyche is expected to name an unchanged line-up, featuring Ben Godfrey at left-back, with Michael Keane having displaced Conor Coady in the middle.
Nathan Patterson is fit again, coming on during Scotlandβs win over Spain last week, but captain SΓ©amus Colemanβs impressive performances will see him keep his place.
Predicted XI (4-5-1): Pickford; Coleman, Tarkowski, Keane, Godfrey; DoucourΓ©, Gana Gueye, Onana, Iwobi, McNeil; Gray.
Tottenham Hotspur team news
Antonio Conte deployed a back three in all 76 of his matches in charge of Spurs, with long-time assistant Cristian Stellini expected to continue that theme.
Emerson suffered a potentially season-ending injury during Brazil defeat to Morocco last weekend, so Pedro Porro will be the undisputed right-wing-back for the foreseeable future.
On the other side, Ben Davies missed Walesβ two games last week, meaning Ivan PeriΕ‘iΔ will come in.
Richarlison hobbled off after just four minutes at St Maryβs so, if heβs not fit, Dejan KuluΕ‘evski will return to the XI.
Predicted XI (5-2-3): Forster; Porro, Romero, Dier, Lenlet, PeriΕ‘iΔ; HΓΈjbjerg, Skipp; KuluΕ‘evski, Son Heung-min, Kane.
