The Tottenham starting XI for their FA Cup fifth-round clash at Everton has been confirmed.
Jose Mourinho remains without injured duo Sergio Regulion and Giovani Lo Celso, although Dele Alli returns to the matchday squad following a recent tendon injury.
The Spurs boss has named a strong side, making just two changes to the side that beat West Brom on Sunday – with the injured Serge Aurier replaced by Matt Doherty, whilst Steve Bergwijn comes into the side in place of Harry Kane, whose on the bench having only recently recovered from an ankle problem.
It means that Tanguy Ndombele partners Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg in a midfield-two, whilst both Lucas Moura and Erik Lamela keep their places following impressive performances against the Baggies, although Gareth Bale isn’t included in the 20-man matchday squad.
Heung Min Son will play upfront, whilst Mourinho has named strong bench, which includes Alli, Kane and Carlos Vinicius.

That is the first thing that came to me. We played well with the personnel and yet this writer is proposing change for 2 players who hardly play. Tanguy just go the chance to not be a #10. Why not let him play his natur position. with free guilds and quests
