Tottenham built on their strong form with a third successive win as they beat Everton in north London.

Richarlison and Son Heung-min put Spurs into an early two-goal lead and they seemed on course for a routine victory. But Sean Dyche’s side hit back through Andre Gomes as they piled on late pressure. Spurs, though, held on to claim all three points and climb back into the top four.

Tottenham Hotspur: Vicario, Porro, Romero, Davies, Emerson, Sarr, Skipp, Johnson, Kulusevski, Son, Richarlison. Subs:Hojbjerg, Gil Salvatierra, Dier, Lo Celso, Forster, Phillips, Veliz, Donley, Dorrington.

Everton: Pickford, Patterson, Branthwaite, Tarkowski, Mykolenko, Gueye, Onana, Harrison, Garner, McNeil, Calvert-Lewin. Subs: Keane, Danjuma, Virginia, Beto, Andre Gomes, Godfrey, Chermiti, Lonergan, Hunt.

Sean Dyche makes just one change to the side that drew with Fulham in midweek. Mykolenko is back from a groin injury, so he comes straight back into the team. Keane drops to the bench, where Gomes is also named after overcoming a calf injury.

Ange Postecoglou makes two changes from the win over Forest last time out, and they're both enforced. Yves Bissouma was sent off in that game, while Destiny Udogie picked up his fifth booking of the season, so they're suspended. Emerson and Skipp come in for them, and Johnson is able to retain his place despite going off with a head injury. Lo Celso is back among the substitutes.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Everton

Everton are one of the in-form teams in the Premier League at the moment. They've won all four of their league games in December without conceding a single goal and scoring eight goals in the process, which has moved them seven points clear of the relegation zone after their 10-point deduction dropped them into it. The Toffees come into today on the back of an EFL Cup quarter-final exit on Tuesday though, having lost a penalty shootout to Fulham 7-6 after a 1-1 draw in normal time.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Everton

Spurs have the opportunity to move into the top four with a win here today, having turned their fortunes around in recent weeks. They've won their last two outings against Newcastle United (4-1) and Nottingham Forest (2-0), seeing out the latter with 10 men. Those two victories come on the back of a five-game winless run for them in the league (D1 L4), which saw them drop away from the top of the table. They have a good record against Everton too, losing just one of their previous 21 Premier League matches against them (W10 D10).
