Tottenham's best lineup under Postecoglou against Everton is announced as a Bissouma substitute

When Tottenham hosts Everton on Saturday afternoon, they’ll be hoping to make it three straight victories. With wins in their previous two games against Nottingham Forest and Newcastle United, the Lilywhites would be sitting pretty at the top of the Premier League standings going into Christmas.

However, facing the Toffees, who are winning a lot of games under manager Sean Dyche, won’t be simple. Securing a spot in the competition’s semi-finals would provide them with a significant lift before traveling to the capital over the weekend, where they play Fulham on Tuesday evening in the Carabao Cup quarterfinals.

Everton has won three games this season and has had an incredible run of form in London. First, Dyche’s team defeated Brentford 3-1. They also triumphed 1-0 at West Ham and 3-2 at Crystal Palace.

Tottenham is again missing several important players for this weekend’s match. Due to suspension, Ange Postecoglou will be without Destiny Udogie and Yves Bissouma, who are already thin on the squad due to a plethora of ailments.

Spurs will thus be reduced to the bare minimum, which forces the manager to make some crucial choices about his starting lineup. This is football.london’s analysis of the best Tottenham team possible to face Everton.
