Mauricio Pochettino's side are not yet totally assured of fourth-place, although it would take a huge collapse for Arsenal to usurp them. Spurs won this fixture 6-2 earlier in the year, but they are without many of the players who featured at Goodison Park that day. Man of the moment Lucas Moura will again be the team's go to man, especially with a glaring amount of absentees. Harry Kane remains injured with Son Heung-min suspended following his red card at Bournemouth last weekend. It means Fernando Llorente is expected to lead the line with Moura in support. Harry Winks is out with Victor Wanyama also looking unlikely meaning Moussa Sissoko's midfield partners will be Dele Alli, Christian Eriksen and Eric Dier. (Image: GETTY) In defence Jan Vertonghen and Davinson Sanchez are both absent with Danny Rose a doubt and Juan Foyth suspended. Kieran Trippier and Ben Davies could occupy the full-back spots, although with Toby Alderweireld lacking natural centre-back to partner him Pochettino could go for a back three. The Argentine may also be forced to turn to youth, or even deploy a make shift defender to partner the Belgian. Serge Aurier and Kyle Walker-Peters are Tottenham's only other defenders, but neither possess the experience to play in the centre of a back four. (Image: buildlineup.com) Although Aurier could contribute as a centre-back as Tottenham look to round off their domestic season. And following comments made this week could this yet prove to be Pochettino's last Premier League game as Tottenham boss. Tottenham predicted starting XI: Lloris; Davies, Alderweireld, Aurier; Trippier, Sissoko, Dier, Eriksen, Alli; Moura, Llorente<doc-sep>18 - Resident of Kolkata, India - In love with the Bundesliga since birth.

Come to my house and we will watch Netflix and eat Nutella. lol just kidding. Follow me on Twitter @covershadow09<doc-sep>The final day of Premier League action usually contains a fair amount of drama, but with all three relegated teams already down and the top four (almost) fully settled, the only real drama will come at the very top of the table as Manchester City and Liverpool both try to not bottle the league title. Predicted Lineup Tottenham Hotspur vs. Wolverhampton Location: Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, London, UK Date: Sunday, March 1, 2020 Time: 9 am ET, 2 pm UK TV: not televised (USA/UK) Stream: NBC Sports Gold ($) Well, that’s not entirely true. There’s still a very (very) slim chance that Spurs could Spurs their way out of top four against Everton today. But they’d have to really, really screw it up. Spurs head into this match in fourth, one point behind Chelsea and three above Arsenal, but with a +8 goal differential over the Gooners. They can clinch Champions League next season with a win, a draw, a loss if Arsenal loses at Burnley, or a loss if Arsenal wins and makes up the 8-goal swing. Unlikely. But not impossible! Normally in these articles I preview the opponent — in this case Everton — and talk about how their season has gone. But let’s be honest, here — it’s Everton, they’re without Richarlison, Calvert-Lewin, and maybe Seamus Coleman for this match, they’re gonna finish in 8th or 9th regardless of what happens here today, and nobody really cares, so long as they don’t beat Spurs 5-0. So let’s get to why you’re really here. How will Tottenham Hotspur line up against Everton? This is the REAL question. The injury report that dropped yesterday after the Champions League win over Ajax looked bleak. Jan Vertonghen and Davinson Sanchez are both dealing with knocks, while Juan Foyth is suspended. Son Heung-Min is also suspended for three games after he lost his appeal to the FA over his red card against Bournemouth. Victor Wanyama is dead again. Harry Kane and Harry Winks are both back on the field but won’t be ready before June 1. Just who the heck is going to take the field against Everton, anyway? That question starts with the defense. With Vertonghen, Sanchez, and Foyth all presumably unavailable, the most likely player to slot into the defense alongside Toby Alderweireld is Eric Dier. Ben Davies could also do this, but someone has to play left back and Rose is being assessed for a knock. This seems like a good match to give Serge Aurier some rehabilitation minutes at right back before Spurs sell him this summer. Pochettino could use this match as an opportunity to blood in some younger players like Oliver Skipp or even some actual U23 squaddies in the midfield, but let’s be real — he’s not going to do that. He’s run his healthy midfielders into the ground and will presumably continue to do it, and he’d love to win this match in case Chelsea slips up at Leicester. That means, for me, a midfield of Moussa Sissoko, Christian Eriksen, and Dele Alli. Erik Lamela came in for a late stint in Amsterdam, and my guess is that if he’s 60 minutes fit he’ll probably get the start today on one of the flanks, with Champions League hero Lucas Moura on the other side. Fernando Llorente will likely start up top but don’t be surprised if Vincent Janssen gets some minutes at the tip of the spear. My final prognostication is that the bench is going to be hilarious. Oliver Skipp, for sure. George Marsh? Jonathan Dinzeyi? Maybe. Troy Parrott? God, I hope so. That’s my prediction for Tottenham Hotspur’s lineup against Everton. What’s yours?<doc-sep>
BOURNEMOUTH, ENGLAND - MAY 04: Dele Alli of Tottenham Hotspur speaks with Referee Craig Pawson after the Premier League match between AFC Bournemouth and Tottenham Hotspur at Vitality Stadium on May 04, 2019 in Bournemouth, United Kingdom. (Photo by Justin Setterfield/Getty Images) Limping across the Premier League finish line, Tottenham head into their final fixture against Everton with a litany of lineup concerns. Taking into consideration Tottenham’s current roster situation, it comes as a slight relief knowing that the North Londoners have an eight-goal buffer to work with. Arsenal are three points behind Spurs in the standings and have an eight-goal deficit to erase. But don’t expect Spurs – even with the slim pickings Mauricio Pochettino has at his disposal – to lose at home to Everton on the final day. Will alone is going to be enough for the result we need to secure a top four position on points, not goal difference. With that said, let’s dig into the dire roster situation that currently plagues Pochettino and his troop of walking wounded. Defence: Juan Foyth starts serving his three-match ban and Jan Vertonghen is out with an ankle injury. Danny Rose’s hamstring is being assessed after he put forth a monstrous effort marauding down the byline in Amsterdam, while Davinson Sánchez continues his rehabilitation. That leaves Ben Davies, Toby Alderweireld, Serge Aurier and, potentially, Eric Dier. The gaffer will probably line up with a back four, utilizing Alderweireld and Dier in central positions, flanked by Serge Aurier and Ben Davies. But you never know, Kyle Walker-Peters might also get the nod, and a sneaky start to end the campaign. TEAM NEWS: ➡️ @daosanchez26 (thigh) – continuing rehab ➡️ @JanVertonghen (ankle) – continues assessment after injury v Ajax ➡️ Danny Rose (hamstring) – being assessed ahead of the weekend ➡️ @VictorWanyama (thigh) being assessed after injury v Ajax#PL ⚪️ #COYS pic.twitter.com/0YVqSgluhq — Tottenham Hotspur (@SpursOfficial) May 10, 2019 Midfield & Forwards: Harry Winks and Victor Wanyama are both out for tomorrow’s match. Winks is in a race against time to gain fitness for the Champions League final on June 1. Oliver Skipp is healthy and might see some action, probably with some second half minutes. Moussa Sissoko should start, while Heung-Min Son is out of contention as he is serving a three-match ban. Harry Kane, like the other Harry, has a three-week countdown to gain fitness for grandest of finals and Fernando Llorente is almost guaranteed to take his rightful place up front. I’d be surprised if Erik Lamela doesn’t get the starting nod, and Wednesday’s hero in Amsterdam, Lucas Moura, will start, entering the scene to a rapturous backing from the Tottenham faithful. Look for Spurs to secure at least a draw in Sunday’s finale, which will leave us – if Arsenal beats Burnley – one point ahead of our hated rivals when the dust settles on the 2018-19 season.
