Cristian Stellini will name his first Tottenham starting XI as acting head coach for the trip to Everton and injuries will dictate much of his team selection.
The 48-year-old Italian took over from his long-time boss and compatriot Antonio Conte this week, until the end of the season, having been his assistant over the years back in their homeland and then at the north London outfit. Stellini's first task is to try to give Spurs' top four hopes a big boost with a positive performance against Sean Dyche's side, who are scrapping for the Premier League life.
Injuries have hit Tottenham's squad hard with Rodrigo Bentancur, Yves Bissouma and Ryan Sessegnon joined by Emerson Royal, Richarlison and Ben Davies in the treatment room before and during the international break.
