Spurs team confirmed vs Everton: Harry Kane absent as Troy Parrott named on the bench

Mauricio Pochettino has named his Tottenham team to face Everton at Goodison Park.

The Lilywhites are back on Merseyside once again and will be hoping for better luck this time after last Sunday's 2-1 defeat against Liverpool.

Spurs go into the game in 13th position in the league and they need to start stringing together some wins if they want to qualify for the Champions League for the fifth year on the trot.

Games against Everton have proved to be a lucky charm in recent years with the manager yet to taste defeat against the Toffees since taking on the job back in May 2014.

Although the hosts currently sit two points above the drop zone after 10 games, Pochettino is expecting a tough game as usual in L4 and he knows that his side will need to be at their very best.

"It's a situation that only we can fix winning games," he said at his pre-match press conference. "We know very well it is our responsibility to deliver a very good job and very good performance on Sunday against a very good team like Everton trying to win because it's going to be the best medicine to fix all."

With Jan Vertonghen and Erik Lamela ruled out, the Lilywhites are also missing Harry Kane for the vital clash on Merseyside.

Here's the team he has selected to take on the Toffees:

Spurs: Gazzaniga, Aurier, Alderweireld, Sanchez, Davies, Ndombele, Sissoko, Alli, Eriksen, Son, Lucas.

Substitutes: Vorm, Foyth, Dier, Sessegnon, Winks, Lo Celso, Parrott.
