Alli and Eriksen dropped, no Sessegnon - The team Tottenham fans want to see against Everton

Tottenham Hotspur return to Premier League action on Sunday afternoon as they face Everton.

It's actually a swift return to Merseyside for the Lilywhites and they'll be hoping for a better result from when they were beaten 2-1 by Liverpool at Anfield six days ago.

That result means Spurs are still without a win away from home in the league since January and Mauricio Pochettino is aware of how important it is to end that record against the Toffees.

"For me, it's always the same – every single game is different, every single game demands something different. It's a good memory but we want to win," he told reporters on Friday afternoon.

"Any result is going to be good for us.

"Yes, I'm happy. Today is only Friday, you need to arrive Sunday with good energy.

"The weather is not so good today, it is not so exciting to go out but I think we're in a good mood.

Ahead of the game at Goodison Park, football.london offered fans the chance to step into Pochettino's shoes and face the selection headache the Spurs boss faces most weeks.

Supporters were asked who they'd like to start the game against the Toffees, and they came up with some interesting responses.

There are calls for Juan Foyth to replace Serge Aurier at right-back while fans has gone for Davinson Sanchez to keep his place in central defence alongside Jan Vertonghen.

As expected, Ben Davies comes in for the suspended Danny Rose at left-back which means no debut for summer signing Ryan Sessegnon.

In midfield, fans want Tanguy Ndombele to return after being a second half substitute at Anfield and for him to be joined in a midfield three alongside Giovani Lo Celso and Harry Winks.

This would mean Christian Eriksen and Dele Alli are dropped.

Up front, leading scorer Harry Kane is joined by Lucas Moura and Son Heung-min.

Spurs XI: Gazzaniga; Foyth, Alderweireld, Sanchez, Davies; Ndombele, Winks, Lo Celso; Lucas Moura, Kane, Son
