Tottenham v Everton: match preview

There is a prize at stake for the team that start as they hope to go on – the chance to lay down a marker for a top-six finish. José Mourinho sees Everton as challengers to this tier and Carlo Ancelotti has fired the imagination with his transfer business, particularly the signing of James Rodríguez. Mourinho has added proven Premier League pedigree – Matt Doherty and Pierre-Emile Højbjerg are in line to make debuts – making this a battle between steel and silk. David Hytner
