Tottenham host Everton as the second round of Premier League fixtures for 2024/25 takes place this weekend.

Ange Postecoglou's side were held to a 1-1 draw at the King Power Stadium on Monday as Jamie Vardy proved he can still perform at an elite level by scoring Leicester City's equaliser.

Everton suffered a damaging opening defeat at Goodison Park as they were beaten 3-0 by Brighton & Hove Albion, with Ashley Young sent off in the second half of a miserable match for Sean Dyche's side.

The Sporting News takes a look at how the two teams could line up.

Tottenham vs. Everton lineups, predicted starting 11, team news

Postecoglou went viral on Monday evening for his hunched-over position in the 100th minute as his side drew to Leicester City. His team, for the most part, played well, but they need to see consistent results if they are to build on the Australian's promising first season.

With the arrival of Dominic Solanke, the team has an out-and-out striker that can cause a disrupted Everton backline problems. Former Toffees striker Richarlison will presumably be on the bench at best, provided that he is fully fit, while Pedro Porro is also a doubt at right-back.

It remains to be seen whether Yves Bissouma will be welcomed back to the squad after he was suspended for inhaling laughing gas and Rodrigo Bentancur is likely out after his head injury on matchday one, leaving Pape Sarr few midfield partners. 

Tottenham predicted XI (4-3-3, right to left): Vicario (GK) — Spence, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie — Sarr, Bergvall, Maddison — Son, Solanke, Johnson. 

Injured: Bentancur, Porro (doubt), Richarlison (doubt)
Suspended:

Dyche has his work cut out for him this season after losing Amadou Onana to Aston Villa and with Jarrad Branthwaite's future still up in the air, his starting squad appears disjointed. 

Ashley Young was sent off in the opener against Brighton and is likely to be replaced in the lineup by Mason Holgate alongside James Tarkowski, Michael Keane and Vitalii Mykolenko.

Everton predicted XI (4-4-1-1, right to left): Pickford (GK) — Holgate, Tarkowski, Keane, Mykolenko — Harrison, Gueye, Iroegbunam, McNeil — Doucoure — Calvert-Lewin. 

Injured: Patterson, Garner (doubt), Coleman (doubt), Branthwaite (doubt)
Suspended: Young
