David Moyes will rely on a compact defensive structure, with Orel Mangala and Idrissa Gueye key to breaking up play in midfield. Everton’s attack hinges on Iliman Ndiaye’s creativity and Calvert-Lewin's ability to capitalise on limited opportunities. Defensive discipline and exploiting counter-attacks will be their priority.

Spurs will look to control possession, using Yves Bissouma and Pape Sarr to dictate the tempo in midfield. Son Heung-Min’s pace and Dejan Kulusevski’s creativity are crucial to breaking down Everton’s defence. However, injuries to key defenders may leave them vulnerable to Everton’s counters.

• Everton: Jordan Pickford – Everton’s shot-stopper will be crucial in keeping Tottenham’s attacking threats at bay.
• Tottenham: Dejan Kulusevski – Spurs’ most creative outlet, capable of producing decisive moments in the final third.
  

Tottenham’s attacking depth and creativity give them an edge, but Everton’s defensive resilience and home advantage could make this a tight contest. Both sides are struggling for consistency, and a share of the spoils seems likely.

Predicted Scoreline: Everton 1-1 Tottenham Hotspur
