Jose Mourinho will want to see a reaction from his Tottenham Hotspur side when they head to Merseyside to face Everton in the Premier League this evening.

Spurs once again dropped points from a winning position last weekend, having taken an early lead before being defeated by Manchester United. The north London outfit have now missed out on a whopping 18 points this season after hitting the front.

A defeat tonight could deal a huge blow to their chances of qualifying for Europe and all but end any chance of a late top-four push.

Mourinho has the same squad at his disposal as Sunday, so it will be interesting to see who he opts for after picking up their 10th league loss of the season last week.

Here's our predicted XI, along with the latest team and injury news from the Spurs camp...

As revealed by the Portuguese in his pre-game press conference, full-back duo Matt Doherty and Ben Davies are "still out" through injury. In a bid to spark a reaction, we may well see as many as four changes up at Goodison Park this evening.

Two of those are likely to come in defence, as the recurring theme of individual errors in the backline continued on Sunday. After returning to the side for the first time in five games, Serge Aurier should be dropped once again.

The right-back drew scathing verdicts from the Sky Sports punditry team, with Roy Keane claiming he's a "huge problem for Spurs" and Micah Richards echoing those thoughts by calling him "lazy."

In Aurier's absence, Japhet Tanganga did a fine job, so he should be the man to start on the right against the Toffees. Jurgen Klopp dubbed him "impressive" on debut against Liverpool, whilst ex-striker Darren Bent believes that the 22-year-old is a "very exciting prospect." Clearly, he isn't overawed by the big occasion.

The other defensive change could see Eric Dier axed after returning to the starting fold with a less than convincing performance against the Red Devils. With Toby Alderweireld back on the bench, Mourinho has to turn to the vastly experienced Belgian sooner rather than later.

He should come in to partner Joe Rodon, with Sergio Reguilon keeping his place.

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg is another who remains from the United defeat but he could be joined by Moussa Sissoko after Mourinho hinted that he'll be given a chance to make his 200th appearance for the club. It means that Tanguy Ndombele is likely to make way as Lucas Moura has impressed in the number 10 role.

The Brazilian starts in attack alongside Heung-min Son, Harry Kane and the returning Gareth Bale, who is preferred to Giovani Lo Celso and Erik Lamela.

AND in other news, Mourinho could unearth his next Rashford in 17 y/o "diamond" with "incredible potential"...
