How Everton could line up against Tottenham Hotspur

Everton will be looking to return to winning ways in the Premier League when they welcome Tottenham Hotspur to Goodison Park on Friday night.

The Toffees, who are currently eighth in the table, seven points off the top four, still have a number of injury problems heading into their next match with Jose Mourinho's side.

Abdoulaye Doucoure, Fabian Delph, Jean-Philippe Gbamin and Bernard are all unavailable for selection, while Yerry Mina is facing "a few weeks" on the sidelines with the injury that he picked up during Monday's goalless draw with Brighton & Hove Albion.

Goalkeeper Jordan Pickford is expected to make his return from an abdominal injury, but Dominic Calvert-Lewin is still unavailable due to the abductor issue that saw him miss out against Brighton.

Joshua King is also pushing to return, while Allan and Andre Gomes should boost head coach Carlo Ancelotti's midfield options on Friday evening.

The Merseyside giants are expected to stick with a back three, meaning that Mason Holgate should drop back from midfield to replace the injured Mina, while Tom Davies and Allan could feature alongside Gylfi Sigurdsson in the middle of the park.

James Rodriguez and Richarlison are again expected to be the front two, while Seamus Coleman and Lucas Digne should retain their positions in the wing-back areas.

Everton possible starting lineup: Pickford; Holgate, Godfrey, Keane; Coleman, Allan, Davies, Sigurdsson, Digne; Rodriguez, Richarlison
