The penultimate Premier League fixture of the day sees Tottenham Hotspur entertain Everton.

Kick-off in north London is at 17:30 BST.

TEAM NEWS

Pedro Porro and Destiny Udogie are out through injury as Roberto De Zerbi is forced into two changes at full-back. Andrew Robertson and Archie Gray come in.

There are two unenforced changes for the hosts, too, as Mateus Fernandes and Dominic Solanke oust Conor Gallagher and Mathys Tel from the side.

James Maddison is among the Lilywhites’ substitutes on his return from injury.

Ainsley Maitland-Niles for Merlin Rohl is David Moyes’ only alteration from last weekend.

Jack Grealish has to content himself with a place among the substitutes again, then.

LINE-UPS

Tottenham Hotspur XI: Kinsky, Gray, Van de Ven, Van Hecke, Robertson, Tonali, Bentancur, Fernandes, Savio, Solanke, Marmoush.

Subs: Dubravka, Adarabioyo, Senesi, Gallagher, Maddison, Tel, Bergvall, Kudus, Davies.

Everton XI: Pickford, Maitland-Niles, Tarkowski, Brathwaite, Mykolenko, Armstrong, Garner, Johnson, Dewsbury-Hall, George, Barry.

Subs: Travers, King, Keane, Grealish, O’Brien, Dibling, Alcaraz, Hackney, Graham.

    Garner on 5 defcons after 20 minutes is absurd.

    1. Moon Dog

      Archie Gray too tbf.

    2. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…

      KDH doing decent too

        1 day, 3 hours ago

        Everton are a defcon breeding ground!

        1. GreennRed
          • 14 Years
          1 day, 3 hours ago

          36% posession driving that.

  2. Bobby Digital

    1 day, 4 hours ago

    M Fernandes shouldn't be playing in the hole... Guys has no end product, even if he scored a screamer in preseason.

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 10 Years
      1 day, 3 hours ago

      Should have scored already. Poor.

      1. Bobby Digital
        • 9 Years
        1 day, 3 hours ago

        Yeah Spurs can't stop giving away possession in the final third. Marmoush and Savio have been poor too.

  3. The Philosopher

    Any chance of Cherki having a case of explosive diarrhoea today?

    1. The Philosopher
      • 6 Years
      1 day, 3 hours ago

      Or even better tomorrow

    2. Rudi Van Disarzio
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      1 day, 3 hours ago

      I was hoping for some Gross diarrhoea instead

      1. jacob1989
        • 4 Years
        1 day, 3 hours ago

        I need 2 of 3 of gvardiol, califiori or l hall to have this issue..
        I assume to get leif davis off bench?

  4. GreennRed
    • 14 Years
    1 day, 4 hours ago

    Aina looks safe for the near future.

  5. Joyce1998
    • 10 Years
    1 day, 4 hours ago

    Wouldn't mind Everton scoring here

    1. Tomerick
      • 12 Years
      1 day, 3 hours ago

      Many rivals have backed Kinsky. An Everton goal would be delicious.

  6. x.jim.x
    • 11 Years
    1 day, 4 hours ago

    Remember that period when people wanted Pep to start Marmoush over Haaland hahahaha

    1. Sharkytect
      • 12 Years
      1 day, 3 hours ago

      Was there ever really such a period?

      1. x.jim.x
        • 11 Years
        1 day, 3 hours ago

        Yes after Haaland went a couple of games without scoring. Looked bad cos he was only getting like 8 touches.

    2. LarryDuff
      • 11 Years
      1 day, 3 hours ago

      No

    3. jacob1989
      • 4 Years
      1 day, 3 hours ago

      No. Maybe could have played both together

  7. Brosstan
    • 12 Years
    1 day, 3 hours ago

    Will the useless piece of trash Barry ever score again?

  8. F4L
    • 11 Years
    1 day, 3 hours ago

    just watching quick highlights of forest match, seems munoz already has a decent understanding/connection with mgw down that right side. munoz close to 2 assists. are the fixtures too bad for forest to put people off munoz?

    cov h
    palace a
    arsenal h
    ipswich a
    brentford a
    city h
    bournemouth a
    chelsea h

    maybe could've just done with a few easier home matches in there? kinda feel like only 3 of those 8 are nice fixtures (cov, palace and ips). but then he always has a goal in him

    Bus team question:

    Play Sangare(CHE) or Shaw(ful)

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      1 day, 3 hours ago

      Sangare

    2. lilmessipran
      • 14 Years
      1 day, 3 hours ago

      Can't write Shawful without awful.

    3. Mr Turnip 1
      • 1 Year
      1 day, 3 hours ago

      Sangare

  10. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    1 day, 3 hours ago

    Anyone WC5? Or just waiting for another week for IB?

    1. Mr Turnip 1
      • 1 Year
      1 day, 3 hours ago

      I was tempted.

      Think I’m waiting a week though, the extra info is so valuable.

      I am becoming slightly concerned by my team value though…

    2. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 10 Years
      1 day, 3 hours ago

      IB. With planned BB IN GW 8

    3. Admiral Benson
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      1 day, 3 hours ago

      I’m doing it. Don’t think I’ll learn anything new between 5&6 and going to get priced out of a decent team if not careful

  11. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    Spurs shot on Target, Pickford haul loading .....

  12. PartyTime
    • 5 Years
    1 day, 3 hours ago

    M. fernandes, £85 million signing with a £25.00 shot at Pickford

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 9 Years
      1 day, 3 hours ago

      Yeah, wrong player getting into those areas

  13. lilmessipran
    • 14 Years
    1 day, 3 hours ago

    To all the Palmer + Haaland owners, are you comfortable rotating captaincy with Palmer where you will not go with Haaland captain? Just don't think he is quite at it, really tempted to go back to Bruno and only have JP as an alternate captaincy shout from Chelsea if needed.

    1. jacob1989
      • 4 Years
      1 day, 3 hours ago

      J pedro better c option.. i c him today. If in doubt, c the guy who plays home

    2. Mr Turnip 1
      • 1 Year
      1 day, 3 hours ago

      Pedro certainly seems to be slightly outperforming Palmer rn for underlying numbers, it’s just the midfielder and penalties aspect, but Pedro a very viable captaincy option tbh. I do wonder whether Rogers and Pedro is the best Chelsea attacking double up…

    3. Admiral Benson
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      1 day, 3 hours ago

      I’m going back to Bruno from Palmer on WC. Trust JP more if want to captain a Chelsea player

  14. jacob1989
    • 4 Years
    1 day, 3 hours ago

    Wondering honestly to now start leif davis over califiori next week (have raya).. other options are gvardiol or l hall to bench.. start leif?

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      1 day, 3 hours ago

      You know if you do it will be 1 point

    2. Mr Turnip 1
      • 1 Year
      1 day, 3 hours ago

      Over Calafiori???

      Absolutely no chance whatsoever

      Remember that Palace are very bad rn

  15. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    1 day, 3 hours ago

    Spurs spendz vs Everton spendz, should’ve saved the 360m

    1. x.jim.x
      • 11 Years
      1 day, 3 hours ago

      Only about £250m difference in spend between the two teams

  16. FPL Blow-In

    2. Admiral Benson
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      1 day, 3 hours ago

      Is Angulo that £4.5m forward?

      1. lilmessipran
        • 14 Years
        1 day, 3 hours ago

        No, this one is the 5m mid.

    3. lilmessipran
      • 14 Years
      1 day, 3 hours ago

      About time Gabriel does something to justify the price tag

  17. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    1 day, 3 hours ago

    Arsenal unchanged: Raya, White, Konsa, Gabriel, Cala, Rice, MLS, Saka, Ode, Tzolis, Havertz

    Prem all draws lol

  19. Brosstan
    • 12 Years
    1 day, 3 hours ago

    I hate Barry. But at least I don't own Isak

  20. el polako
    • 9 Years
    1 day, 3 hours ago

    I think what they need at Spurs is to spend some more money.
    Does City have anymore players they want to offload?

  21. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    1 day, 3 hours ago

    Kinsky wtaf

    1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      • 9 Years

      Kinky from him

    2. GREEN JUMPERS
      • 6 Years
      1 day, 3 hours ago

      Made himself a saves point

      1. g40steve
        • 8 Years
        1 day, 3 hours ago

        🙂

    3. DeSelby
      • 4 Years
      1 day, 3 hours ago

      He was trying for title of "worst pass of the season" but failed because no one could beat the pass Allison made against Fulham earlier.

  22. Moon Dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 1 Year
    1 day, 3 hours ago

    Benched Garner's defcon like an amatuer.

    Never bench Garner.

    1. SM001
      • 10 Years
      1 day, 3 hours ago

      Never bench him for 2 poxy defcon points?

      1. Moon Dog
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 1 Year
        1 day, 2 hours ago

        5pts is like an assist. Not many players average over 5pts per game.

        Garner is also on set pieces, and I think penalties too. Defcon just lifts his floor.

        1. SM001
          • 10 Years
          1 day, 2 hours ago

          Set pieces and pens sure. But 2 defcon points? Nah

    2. lilmessipran
      • 14 Years
      1 day, 2 hours ago

      Will get worse when Everton get a pen and he scores

  23. Baines on Toast...
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    My GW3 WC looking great - MGW, Schade, Konsa, Bruno over Palmer. Shame I used FH this week to load up on Chelsea and Liverpool, but it was pre-planned at least.

    1. Mr Turnip 1
      • 1 Year
      1 day, 3 hours ago

      You’ve probably done ok if you had all of Palmer, Rogers, and Pedro. You’ve done better than the Palmer TCers like myself anyway…

  24. DeSelby
    • 4 Years
    1 day, 3 hours ago

    Kinsky trying to make a worse pass than Allison earlier today but couldn't quite do it. Still, so, so terrible.

    1. x.jim.x

      Do people not remember the game against Atletico

    1. The Philosopher
      • 6 Years
      1 day, 2 hours ago

      Spurs spending big money on 3 bang average players is so spursy.

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 9 Years

      A blind man could see that they weren't worth all that moolah

  29. The Philosopher

    Time to rest Kinsky and give Dubravka some game time.
