Roberto De Zerbi has some doubts as he names his Tottenham team to take on Everton in the Premier League on Saturday evening.
The 47-year-old is looking for his Spurs players to record their first league win of the season and to do so they will have to score their first Premier League goal of the campaign. They take on an Everton side that are unbeaten so far under David Moyes with one win and two draws, including last weekend's dramatic point against Manchester United.
De Zerbi will be without summer signing Mykhailo Mudryk after football.london broke the news that the Ukrainian will be out for the next four to eight weeks with an ankle sprain suffered in training while Richarlison is no longer available for Premier League matches. During his press conference on Friday, the Italian also confirmed that Mohammed Kudus could start and James Maddison could be in a position to get minutes.
He also said that Dominic Solanke and Omar Marmoush could start together at some point with the former now closing in on full match fitness.

There was a surprise though later in the day when De Zerbi added in a club interview that full-backs Pedro Porro and Destiny Udogie were also doubts for the match and he might not risk the duo. That could hand Archie Gray and Andy Robertson starts on the flanks.
The Tottenham boss must also decide who plays as the number 10 againsts the Toffees and whether it's a midfielder such as Conor Gallagher or Mateus Fernandes or an attacking such as Kudus or Marmoush.
De Zerbi will also be mindful that there is a quick turnaround to Spurs' next game as they travel to Liverpool in the Carabao Cup third round on Tuesday night.
Here's the team we reckon De Zerbi could select to face Everton:
(4-2-3-1) Kinsky; Gray, Van Hecke, Van de Ven, Robertson; Bentancur, Tonali; Savio, Fernandes, Marmoush; Solanke.
