Everton v Spurs

Everton face Tottenham Hostpur on Saturday at Goodison Park. The game kicks off at 17:30 and will be shown live on EPSN and we will be looking for revenge after the 2-0 defeat at White Hart Lane in January. The blues have this week welcomed the return of players such as Leon Osman, Seamus Coleman, Jack Rodwell and Phil Jagielka. Everton have been on good form recently without a loss in the last 8 games but I think there should be a few changes to the starting 11. Firstly, I don't think Phil Neville should be playing in midfield and the return of Leon Osman should see him replace the captain. Also, Nikica Jelavic looked sharp when he come on as a sub last week at QPR and so maybe Moyes should think about giving him a start with the Strac. As for the defence, I believe our defence is stronger right now without Phil Jagielka and if he returns into the starting 11, it could unsettle the team and effect our performances. Lastly, we will be without Steven Pienaar at the weekend due to him being on loan from Tottenham and we will still be without Darron Gibson.

My starting 11 would be; Howard, Hibbert, Distin, Heitinga, Drenthe, Cahill, Fellaini, Osman, Strac, Jelavic.
