Everton midfielder Abdoulaye Doucoure is back in training after returning from a thigh injury but this game has almost certainly come too soon for him. Seamus Coleman has been rated as little more than “a maybe” as he continues his recovery from a similar ailment.

Andre Gomes has been ruled out, while Arnaut Danjuma and Amadou Onana will undergo late fitness tests. Idrissa Gana Gueye is available for selection after returning from Senegal’s unsuccessful mission to retain their Africa Cup of Nations crown.

Gueye’s compatriot Pape Sarr is also back from international duty with Senegal and could start in midfield for Tottenham, but Heung-min Son (Asian Cup) and Yves Bissouma (Afcon) are both still unavailable. Manor Solomon, Ryan Sessegnon and Giovani Lo Celso are all sidelined with injury.

To Goodison Park, where relegation threatened Everton are hoping to end a run of five Premier League games without a win, having taken just two points from the past 15 available to them. Third from bottom of the table (they’d be 12th but for that 10-point deduction), Sean Dyche’s men lost 2-1 against Spurs in the corresponding fixture at White Hart Lane just before Christmas, but can take heart from the fact it was a game they dominated and were perhaps a little unlucky to lose.

Tottenham come into this game on the back of a midweek 3-2 win over Brentford, their goals coming in a quick-fire eight-minute burst just after half-time, following a poor opening 45 minutes. A win on Merseyside will keep Spurs in fourth place but send them level on points with Arsenal having played one game more. Kick-off at Goodison Park is at 12.30pm (GMT) but we’ll have team news and pre-match build-up in the meantime.
