- Everton looking for fifth win in a row
Everton left-back, Vitalii Mykolenko, is in contention to play against Tottenham Hotspur this weekend, according to manager Sean Dyche. Mykolenko, who missed the team’s last two matches due to a tight groin, is now back in contention.

Coleman doubtful, Doucoure out
However, uncertainties surround the availability of Seamus Coleman, with Dyche describing it as “touch and go” for the defender. On the other hand, Ashley Young is expected to miss out on the match, despite making progress in his recovery.
In midfield, Abdoulaye Doucoure will be absent due to a hamstring problem. The 30-year-old was forced off at halftime in Everton’s recent victory against Burnley and did not feature in the following match against Fulham. While Dyche acknowledges Doucoure’s positive healing progress, the midfielder will not be available for the upcoming fixture.
Betting Implications
Everton are one of the form teams in the country at the moment. Since their 10 point deduction the Toffees have kicked on and have won the last four league matches in a row. If they had not been docked 10 points they would be pushing for the European places. However, Tottenham, after a slight blip, look to be back in business. Mykoleno’s availability would be a boost to Everton ahead of what promises to be a tough test. At the time of writing, Spurs are favourites at 4/5 with BetUK who have Everton priced at 13/4 with a draw the same price.
