Tottenham can move within a point of top spot when they host Everton in Saturday’s evening kick-off.
Spurs have enjoyed a good week having edged past Brighton in the Premier League thanks to a Harry Kane header.
Kane was in the goals again as they beat Eintracht Frankfurt 3-2 in the Champions League to move top of their group.
Everton’s good run came to an end last weekend when they were beaten 2-1 at home by Manchester United.
Alex Iwobi had given Everton an early lead; however Anthony and Cristiano Ronaldo turned the game around.
