Spurs/Everton

Everton tend to have more possession away from home than at Goodison which explains the huge scores away to Villa compared to the matches at home to Liverpool or Man Utd. Spurs on the other hand have only gained 51% and 50% possession in their last two league games against Villa and Wolves respectively.

This points to at least two Everton players (and possibly more) especially as they will have more time to recover from their last game than Spurs. Arteta is a certainty for one of the spots and then at least two from the group tipped last time out, probably Distin and Baines for me.

As for Spurs I can't see past Bale and Assou-Ekotto. The only thing worrying me is that Van der Vaart will be making his Picklive debut for Spurs and so represents a bit of an unknown quantity. The difficulty is do you drop an Everton player in spite of the possession stats above or do you try and work out how you can possibly drop Bale or Assou-Ekotto. A tough choice either way.
