Everton host Tottenham on Sunday evening in the Premier League – and some of the club’s supporters on Twitter have urged manager Marco Silva to leave captain Seamus Coleman out of the starting XI.

The Merseyside club face Spurs at Goodison Park and desperately need three points to try help them climb up the league table.

They currently sit 16th-placed in the standings and it’s been a poor start to the campaign for them, despite having a decent squad on paper.

A selection of Toffees supporters on social media are convinced that defender Coleman should be dropped against Spurs.

The 31-year-old right-back played in midweek during the Carabao Cup last-16 victory against Watford, but did struggle at times defensively.

Coleman was suspended against West Ham in the league for the first game back after the international break and teammate Djibril Sidibe excelled in the full-back position during his absence.

The Irishman was an unused substitute last weekend in the league defeat to Brighton, but did play 90 minutes in the cup success.

Silva does have a decision to make ahead of the next fixture and it seems like Frenchman Sidibe may have slightly edged ahead in the pecking order at right-back.
