Tottenham predicted team vs Everton: Mourinho makes Bale and Dele call with Winks and Dier back

Jose Mourinho will have plenty of decisions to make about his Tottenham Hotspur team for the trip to Everton in the FA Cup fifth round.

Mourinho wants to bring silverware to the north London club and will be targeting the grand old cup competition along with April's Carabao Cup final against Manchester City.

On Wednesday night, the Spurs boss will have to rotate some areas of his team, having taken on West Bromwich Albion on Sunday and facing a trip to leaders City in the Premier League on Saturday.

Mourinho must balance his desire to go strong in the FA Cup with the game at the Etihad Stadium coming just three days later.

Giovani Lo Celso remains out for much of this month, Sergio Reguilon is also out but Mourinho revealed that Dele Alli could be back on the bench at Goodison Park.

Harry Kane returned against West Brom and is expected to start again at Goodison Park.

Mourinho has plenty of decisions to make in central defence and across the midfield as he must decide between adding fresh legs with the likes of Eric Dier and Harry Winks or sticking with a winning team.

Erik Lamela and Lucas Moura both impressed against West Brom but whether they can play again just days later after their first Premier League start in months is another thing.

That might open the door for Steven Bergwijn or Gareth Bale to come into the team.

Here is the team we reckon Spurs will line up with:

4-2-3-1: Lloris; Doherty, Alderweireld, Dier, Davies; Winks, Hojbjerg; Bergwijn, Ndombele; Son; Kane.
