Great news!

So Everton are stacking up the defensive midfielders and playing on the counter then. Not too surprising I suppose.

Kin hell, centre of the pitch could be very congested. Koeman probably well aware that Davies isn't as effective going forward.

Interesting to see everton plays 3 DM + 1 CM in davies. If we play 4231, we would lose the midfield. But I feel confident with 3421

Toffees....might be á sticky fixture this one!

Not sure about it. I think they want to dominate the midfield instead. They didn't start any fast players like millras or Lookman. I think if they fail to dominate the midfield, they will try to use long ball to find Lukaku

An early goal could be massive for us here

 

[Lifeson]

Looks like we are 3 at the back, if we can pull their 4 man backline out wide with our wingbacks Dele and Harry will find a lot of room in the box.

tough game COYS

 

[yankspurs]

I really do love Hugo. So handsome, so soft spoken, has a real swagger to him.

Delighted with the team news, now lets get a quick start as this will not be easy, Everton @ the lane, never is but a big chance.

I think Everton may just be trying to match up... Two DM's to block any space for Eriksen and Alli, whilst the other two engage Dembele/Wanyama. That would leave a lot of space wide, especially for our centre backs.

Daws on the BBC match thread:

Former Tottenham defender Michael Dawson on MOTD2 Extra: "Mauricio Pochettino came in when I was there, set them up and got a philosophy of scoring lots of goals and bringing in young players - particularly the full-back who are arguably the best in the world. The signings in the summer have been big signings and taken them on to the next level."

Say what? [Big Vic aside, obviously.]
