Preview: Everton (Home)

Let's hope he's got something up his sleeve
Evening all.

Huge HUGE match tomorrow. It's a must-win for both sides and with so much at stake, I have no idea what the result is going to be.

John Cena vs The Rock for the WWE Title, I know you're pumped.

But, and you may not know this, there's actually another important clash tomorrow. Everton visit the Lane at the odd time of 14.05, and Spurs desperately need to take all 3 points. Now, considering we made Basel look like Barcelona on Thursday night (nothing to do with the colour of their kits), and we're now missing two of our most influential players, I think it's safe to say that it's not going to be easy.

Remember, Everton still have an outside chance of finishing in the top four, and realistically, only a win tomorrow can keep that chance alive. Looking at our recent performances, I reckon they'll fancy themselves.

Okay, some team news.

Obviously the main story from our point of view is that Bale and Lennon will miss out thanks to the injuries they picked up on Thursday night. Lennon has arguably been in the form of his career this season, and we never look as threatening without him. His lung-busting runs to get back and help out in defence will also be sorely missed. Bale's influence is so obvious that it doesn't even need to be mentioned.

Defoe is still out so it will be Adebayor up front again. I know, I know, I have no idea where the goals are going to come from either, but they just better come, because if we don't win tomorrow, a top four finish is going to seem a long way away. Siggy got himself on the score-sheet again against Basel, maybe he's the man for the job tomorrow.

Or maybe, just maybe, it's time for the big dawg to step up.

It's Deuce Dempsey baby!



Probably not though, he's done nothing since joining the club to give me any confidence.

Vertonghen again?

Christ we're desperate.

By the way, Verts was absolutely awful on Thursday night? Very strange, anyone have any explanation for the sudden meltdown?

Anywho, the good news (there's always some) is that Everton will be missing a couple of key players too. Fellaini and Pienaar are both suspended. Fellaini's the heartbeat of this Everton team, so his absence is a major plus. They'll basically be relying on Jelavic to score, and personally I don't rate him at all.

As usual, I'll give you the team I'd go with if I was in AVB's shoes. Oh to be those shoes, what an attractive man he is. Ehhh, oh yes, as I was saying, here's my team. I don't like it, I mean I REALLY don't like it, but I think it's the best we have available.

Hugo

Walker  Verts  Daws  BAE

Holtby  Parker  Dembele  Siggy

Deuce

  Adebayor

I think AVB will do things a little differently. He could start Demebele on the right again? He'll almost definitely have Naughton in ahead of Benny. He could actually put Dempsey on the wing, and have Siggy behind Defoe, as he's picked up a few goals recently. I'm weirdly excited and highly nervous to see the team-sheet tomorrow.

What else? Nothing really, so I guess I'll wrap it up there.


Prediction: Cena will definitely win, The Rock's about 84. Oh and I reckon 1-1 in the footy. Crap result for both teams, I sincerely hope I'm wrong.
