One day. One day until the mighty blues of Everton take the concept of a good weekend and rip it up like a splenetic child with a napkin.
Optimism. Is that French for something?
Anyway, Everton host Tottenham at Goodison Park and will be looking to get off the mark with three points, something they haven’t achieved since 2012, when Marouane Fellaini pulverised Manchester United and headed the Blues to a 1-0 opening weekend victory over the eventual Premier League champions.
Tottenham had an excellent season last time out, but how many Everton players would get into Mauricio Pochettino’s starting XI for tomorrow?
Normal rules apply. Suspended and injured players are out of the running for this crucial, pivotal XI.
So before you lot say: “Where is friggin’ Ashley Williams you tart?” Ronald Koeman said he will not feature this weekend.
Right then, without any further ado…
