Everton faces a surging Tottenham

Everton travels to White Hart Lane today to face Harry Redknapp's surging Tottenham side. Since taking over, Harry has worked magic with the Spurs winning seven matches out of nine. The Spurs will have Ledley King and Jermaine Jenas available as well as a well-rested Roman Pavlyuchenko and Vedran Corluka who were cup-tied for their match against NEC Nijmegen. In his three-hundredth match in-charge (where did the time go?), David Moyes efforts will be further challenged as he will be without Victor Anichebe, James Vaughan, Steven Pienaar and Louis Saha. The Spurs possess a wealth of talent, pace and attacking flourish with Russian international Pavlyuchenko starting to fill the nets. For the Toffees to defeat Tottenham, they need to embody the determined grit and physical play that has suited them well with extremely tight marking. Without a doubt Everton must improve from recent performances if they are to leave North London with points.

I will report on the match as it concludes.
