Everton face a tricky FA Cup contest today as they take on Jose Mourinho’s Spurs looking to cement a place in the quarter-finals of the competition.

After a scintialling, tonight marks the first of two home games in the space of five days for the Toffees. After hosting Spurs this evening, Ancelotti’s men then see struggling Fulham arrive on Merseyside on Sunday.

That Premier League game, coupled with a couple of injury worries and rotations, may mean a few changes for Everton this evening.

Fabian Delph is one player who may come into the fold. Tom Davies did well at Old Trafford but could be rested, while in attack, Ancelotti has confirmed that James Rodriguez faces a late check. Gylfi Sigurdsson may also hope to get the nod in midfield.

That could see a starting spot for Alex Iwobi. The former Arsenal man has impressed at times this season, finding his feet under the Everton boss and finally producing the goods. But the Toffees will want to win this game. Therefore, just a couple of changes could be made as Ancelotti looks to put his team one game away from Wembley.

Here, then, is our predicted XI as Everton host Spurs in the FA Cup tonight.
