Spurs fell to a 2-1 defeat away at Arsenal in midweek, a result which left them just eight points above the Premier League relegation places.

Tottenham will be up against an Everton outfit who are also struggling, having lost their last three league games in a row to end up in 16th place.

Postecoglou is actually set to have a bit more leeway in terms of his backline now that Davies is back from injury.

However, we predict the Tottenham boss will keep him on the bench for now and potentially bring him on for Djed Spence during the game.

Archie Gray, Radu Dragusin and Pedro Porro are likely to start for Spurs too, with Antonin Kinsky once again in between the sticks.

With Bissouma a doubt, Postecoglou could bring in £40million playmaker James Maddison in his place, while Pape Matar Sarr and Lucas Bergvall could start once again.

Tottenham’s front line is likely to remain unchanged, with Son Heung-min on the left, Dominic Solanke leading the line, and Dejan Kulusevski on the right.

Tottenham predicted XI v Everton (4-3-3): Kinsky; Porro, Dragusin, Gray, Spence; Bergvall, Sarr, Maddison; Kulusevski, Solanke, Son
