Tottenham have received a massive double boost ahead of the game against Sean Dyche's Everton later today with manager Ange Postecoglou confirming both Giovani Lo Celso and Ashley Phillips are fit enough to be involved.

Brennan Johnson who started against his former side Nottingham Forest last Friday before being forced off in the early stages of the match due to a nasty cut to the head has also been back to training and is likely to retain his spot in the first eleven.

Manager Postecoglou said ahead of the game: "Gio (Giovani Lo Celso ) is back. He's fine. From last week there's no one apart from the suspended boys who are missing out tomorrow. Everyone else is okay and Gio trained the last couple of days so is available. Ashley Phillips is also available."

Spurs will however be without Yves Bissouma who begins a four-game ban, while Destiny Udogie is also suspended for one match.The north London club have received four red cards in 17 Premier League games, as many as in their previous two campaigns combined.

The Lilywhites will be hoping for their third straight win after ending their wretched form that saw them only draw one of their five games before wins against Newcastle and Nottingham Forest came along. Everton have won four successive Premier League matches for the first time since December 2020 but lost out to Everton in the league Cup in midweek.

Sean Dyche has turned the club around and not even a 10 point deduction has quenched their fire and quest to finish in the top half of the league table.
