Kane, Alli, Eriksen and Son start as Richarlison moves to the left wing

The final match of Gameweek 18 – and indeed the last Premier League fixture before Christmas – takes place this afternoon, with Everton and Tottenham Hotspur in action at Goodison Park. Kick-off on Merseyside is at 16:00 GMT.

Marco Silva declared that Richarlison (£7.0m) had recovered from a cold in his press conference on Friday and indeed the Brazilian midfielder is well enough to take his place on the left flank today, with Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£5.3m) given the nod to lead the line after his goal at the Etihad last Saturday.

The former Watford winger is owned by twice as many Fantasy Premier League managers as the next most-selected Everton asset, sitting in 31.2% of FPL squads.

Over 240,000 Fantasy bosses have benched Richarlison for this game, though.

Silva has made two changes to his starting XI and has reverted to a 4-2-3-1 after his experimentation with a wing-back system in last week’s 3-1 defeat at Manchester City.

Theo Walcott (£6.2m) and Tom Davies (£5.1m) come into the side, with Bernard (£5.9m) and Yerry Mina (£5.4m) dropping to the bench.

Harry Kane (£12.5m) is the third-most-popular captaincy pick of Gameweek 18, with just over 700,000 FPL managers handing him the armband.

The England striker has delivered an attacking return (four goals, three assists) in each of his last six Premier League starts.

Kane, the second-most-sold FPL forward of this round of matches, lines up as the spearhead of the Spurs attack this afternoon as Mauricio Pochettino makes four changes from the side that beat Burnley in Gameweek 17.

Son Heung-min (£8.5m), Harry Winks (£5.5m), Christian Eriksen (£9.3m) and the fit-again Davinson Sanchez (£5.8m) come into the side as Danny Rose (£5.8m), Oliver Skipp (£4.5m), Erik Lamela (£6.2m) and Lucas Moura (£7.0m) make way.

Kieran Trippier (£6.1m) makes his third start at right-back in eight days, while Dele Alli (£8.9m) does likewise in midfield.

Everton XI (4-2-3-1): Pickford, Coleman, Keane, Zouma, Digne, Davies, Gomes, Walcott, Sigurdsson, Richarlison, Calvert-Lewin.

Spurs XI (4-2-3-1): Lloris, Trippier, Alderweireld, Sanchez, Davies, Winks, Sissoko, Eriksen, Dele, Son, Kane.
