Spurs host Everton at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium Of Recurring Nightmares where anything less than a home win will be greeted with an avalanche of moans, groans, and demands for the reinstatement of Mauricio Pochettino – who, curiously enough – had this boat parked in more or less the same spot in the league before he was fired.
If Jose Mourinho can’t turn things around, then eventually the ENIC fans will be left with some rather awkward soul-searching to do.
Kick-off is 8 pm and you will need a Sky Sports subscription to catch the show which starts at 7.30 pm. You can catch this match on either Premier League and Main Event, as well as Ultra HD depending upon what sound effects you want.
The bookies have Spurs as @20/21 favourites, the draw is @12/5, and Everton are @10/3.
Dele Alli’s inclusion won’t be confirmed until 7pm, when we publish the team news. Here are the Spurs’ full squad as it stands this afternoon.
Hugo Lloris, Paulo Gazzaniga, Michel Vorm, Alfie Whiteman; Serge Aurier, Davinson Sanchez, Toby Alderweireld, Jan Vertonghen, Eric Dier, Ben Davies; Oliver Skipp, Tanguy Ndombele, Giovani Lo Celso, Harry Winks, Moussa Sissoko, Gedson Fernandes, Dele Alli, Ryan Sessegnon, Steven Bergwijn, Lucas Moura, Erik Lamela; Son Heung-min, Harry Kane, Troy Parrott.
Tonight’s referee is Mr. Graham Scott.
I genuinely like your positivity
I think you almost called it with the variation that said sleepy defender scores og
I predict a controversial red card against Spurs in the 26th minute (with help from VAR) and then we valiantly hold them off for what looks like a 0 – 0 draw, only to have them score in the 93rd minute when one of our defenders (prob Aurier) predictably falls asleep.
Apparently there was a clear the air talk after the Sheffield United game, so I expect a big reaction. Should be a few goals, Spurs to restore a bit of respectability.
