It should be a closely-contested tie, with Everton seventh in the top flight and Tottenham eighth, and with both clubs likely to deploy strong starting XIs in an attempt to advance and end their respective trophy droughts. The hosts’ last piece of silverware came in this very competition in 1995, while Spurs lifted the League Cup trophy in 2008. Jose Mourinho’s side have another shot at glory when they take on Manchester City in the Carabao Cup final in April but will be no less motivated to progress here in any case.
