English Premier League: Everton vs. Tottenham Hotspur Preview
Team News:
Everton will be without http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Tim-Cahill-c35085, their top scorer this season, who is currently with the Australian national team participating in the Asian Cup. His absence will be missed, since the player has scored nine of the team’s 21
goals in the Premier League. With Cahill out of the picture, Jermaine Beckford and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Louis-Saha-c22459 are the other striking options present for manager David Moyes. However, out of the two, Beckford has been in better form, having scored since October. Even though
Saha started in the fixture against Stoke City, he failed to impress. Moyes will be without http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/John-Heitinga-c18862, who is doubtful for today’s match with a knee injury.
Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp will be without http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jermain-Defoe-c18359, with both the players serving suspension. The duo picked up red cards over the new year’s period and look to miss out on a couple of important fixtures.
