With Sarr: Ange to ruin Everton day by unleashing Spurs ace nightmare
Following a hard-fought victory against Brentford, Tottenham Hotspur, led by Ange Postecoglou, faces another challenging encounter against Everton at Goodison Park.
Reclaiming a top-four spot, Spurs aim to build a winning streak for a stronger position.
With successful January transfers and the recovery of key players, including James Maddison, Micky van de Ven, and Rodrigo Bentancur, Tottenham is bolstered for upcoming tests.
Although Heung-min Son is unavailable due to advancing to the Asia Cup quarter-finals, Pape Matar Sarr returns after Senegal’s African Cup of Nations exit.
Yves Bissouma is still competing at the tournament, while Giovani Lo Celso, Ryan Sessegnon, and Manor Solomon remain sidelined.
Despite Sarr’s extensive involvement in the recent tournament, his dynamic play and energy are expected to be crucial against Everton.
Pape Sarr, with two goals and two assists in 18 Premier League matches, showcases technical ability and influence in attacking moments. Ranked among the top midfielders in Europe for various metrics, Sarr’s partnership with Bentancur is anticipated to provide the necessary fluency against Everton.

Upfront, Richarlison and Maddison are key figures, while Brennan Johnson, after an impactful substitute appearance, may start. Johnson, signed from Nottingham Forest, possesses exciting pace, directness, and a nightmare-inducing playing style.
With Son absent, players like Johnson need to step up, as illustrated by his goal against Brentford and impressive record against Everton.
Timo Werner, having shown creative worth, might benefit from rotation, allowing Johnson to start. Johnson’s track record against Everton, with three goals and an assist in three outings, positions him as a vital contributor for Tottenham’s success.
With Maddison in good form, Tottenham aims to maintain fluidity and spark to secure Champions League contention with back-to-back victories in the Premier League.
