Fixture: Everton vs Tottenham Hotspur
Competition: Premier League
Kick-off: 15:00 (UK time)

Tottenham Hotspur have officially confirmed their starting eleven and substitutes to take on Everton at Goodison Park in their opening game of the new Premier League season.

Mauricio Pochettino's men finished third in the league last season and will be looking to make a winning start this time around against Ronald Koeman's Toffees on Merseyside.




Pochettino, in an effort to put Everton to the sword, goes with Harry Kane to lead the attack, supported by Dele Alli, Erik Lamela and Christian Eriksen. Victor Wanyama will look to boss the midfield, along with Eric Dier, ahead of the central defensive pairing of Toby Alderweireld and Jan Vertonghen.

Summer signing Vincent Janssen is on the bench in case Pochettino needs to bring on another striker, while Ryan Mason also finds a spot amongst the substitutes. Ben Davies is a defensive option.
