REFEREE:
Paul Tierney ???????
TEAM FORM
Spurs - WLDWW ------- Everton - DDWWL
We will go in search of our third successive win in all tournaments when we welcome Everton to North London on Saturday evening in the Premier League. We survived a late scare to beat Eintracht Frankfurt 3-2 in the Champions League on Wednesday, while Everton went down 2-1 to Manchester United last week.
Our Boss admitted that we learned a big lesson against 10-man Frankfurt, where out scintillating first-half attacking display almost counted for nought during a nerve-wracking end to that European encounter. We ultimately held on for the win which sent us top of Champions League Group D, but the evening could have ended in disaster for us, where we now have back-to-back wins to our name after last weekend's success over Brighton & Hove Albion.
We are still sitting pretty in third place in the Premier League Table with 20 points to our name - four clear of Chelsea having played a game more - but Manchester City are three points ahead with a superior goal difference and are highly unlikely to be usurped this weekend.
Victory over Frankfurt - albeit a nervy one - saw us maintain our perfect home record in the 2022-23 season with a sixth win from as many matches, and our victorious Premier League streak at our Stadium now stands at seven games, but we cannot afford to take Everton lightly.
Frank Lampard's side had been slowly building momentum after a challenging start to the season, but defeat to the Red Devils leaves them languishing in 12th place in the table, and a four-point chasm separates them from both the relegation zone and the top seven.
All four of Everton's away games in the 2022-23 Premier League season have seen both teams score, and the return of Calvert-Lewin should only benefit Everton's chances of keeping that streak going, but not since May 2021 have the Toffees won away to a London club.
Everton had strung a four-game unbeaten run over us in all competitions before being demolished 5-0 in North London back in March, but we will be wary of taking our foot off the accelerator after our midweek endeavours.

Team News
Our attacker kulusevski was not quite ready to be involved against Frankfurt, but he has been put through his paces in training since recovering from a hamstring injury and should be part of the squad this weekend.
Whether Kulusevski is ready to start is another question entirely, but Lucas Moura was fit enough for a substitute cameo in midweek following a tendon issue, and Conte could also have Tanganga back from a knock for the visit of Everton.
Royal will drop back down to the naughty step as he serves the second of a three-game domestic suspension, so Doherty can feel confident about his chances of back-to-back Premier League starts.
The fresh legs of perisic may also be preferred on the left over Sessegnon, while Richarlison will be desperate to start and score his first Premier League goal for Spurs against his former club.
Meanwhile, Everton striker Calvert-Lewin was able to come off the bench for 14 minutes against Man United - his first appearance of the season after a knee injury - but Lampard still needs to determine whether the Englishman is ready to start.
Ben Godfrey, Townsend, and Patterson remain on the sidelines, while Yerry Mina and Mason Holgate also need a little longer to recover, and Anthony Gordon will serve a suspension after picking up five yellow cards. Doucoure, meanwhile, will be fine to feature despite a family issue.
The decision to drop Dwight McNeil for Gordon backfired on Lampard last weekend, and the former can expect an immediate recall to the XI while his teammate watches on from the sidelines.
