Everton v Tottenham Hotspur: live 17.24 I like his commentary, he seems a nice man, but I don't know... there's something about Jon Champion's face that just cracks me up every time I see it: 17.21 In the crucial arena of players' haircuts, Everton are the clear leaders of the Premier League. You've got the maverick style of Marouane Felaini, Leighton Baines' indie disco-do and Phil Neville refusing to go gentle into that good night with his questionable blonde highlights. Perhaps life would be more fun for Everton supporters if they concentrated on this rather than the actual football? 17.11 Predictions then, please? I fancy a 2-1 Everton win. I'm an odd man. 17.05 Is David Moyes going to be on the receiving end of a gigantic cake in the shape of a "10" at some point today? 16.53 Kevin Keegan is talking Ingerland, Jermain Defoe and goals in ESPN's hi-tech ultra-bright bunker, which is located just 12 miles from the core of our earth. 16.44 Here are the teams: Everton: Howard, Neville, Heitinga, Distin, Baines, Coleman, Osman, Fellaini, Drenthe, Cahill, Jelavic. Subs: Mucha, Hibbert, Jagielka, Stracqualursi, Gueye, Rodwell, Anichebe. Tottenham: Friedel, Walker, Kaboul, King, Assou-Ekotto, Bale, Sandro, Parker, Modric, Defoe, Adebayor. Subs: Cudicini, Van der Vaart, Saha, Kranjcar, Rose, Livermore, Nelsen. 16.30 Afternoon liveblog labrats. This, by my reckoning, is the 38th Premier League meeting between Everton and Tottenham Hotspur. Spurs have been largely excellent this year and Everton, as ever, are improving as the season reaches its conclusion. But you'll forgive me for being merely whelmed at the prospect of watching this game, such is its familiarity. I'm also stuck in a past where Tottenham were as forgettable and merely "there" as Everton. Harry Redknapp's side have harked back to such anonymity in recent weeks, losing in ludicrous 5-2-based circumstances at Arsenal and being half-unluckilly brushed aside 3-1 by Manchester United last time out. Is Goodison Park the place for them to get their season back onto track? Don't ask me. Due to some quirk of probability I have never liveblogged a game from Goodison Park in my 15-month long liveblogging career. What a treat! Stay tuned, and have a lovely preview: Saturday, March 10, 2012 Everton v Tottenham Hotspur Goodison Park Kick off: 17.30 GMT TV: Live ESPN, Highlights BBC1 MOTD 10.30 Everton (probable, 4-4-1-1): Howard; Neville, Jagielka, Distin, Baines; Donovan, Osman, Fellaini, Drenthe; Cahill; Jelavic. Out: Gibson (knee), Pienaar (ineligible) Tests: Rodwell (hamstring), Anichebe (groin) Tottenham (probable, 4-4-2): Friedel; Walker, Kaboul, King, Assou-Ekotto; Van der Vaart, Parker, Modric, Bale; Defoe, Adebayor. Out: Lennon (hamstring), Dawson, Huddlestone (both ankle), Bentley (knee), Jenas (Achilles) Test: King (knee) Referee: Mark Halsey (M14 R0 Y34) Team news Manager David Moyes has virtually a fully-fit squad but a number of players are lacking match sharpness. Defender Phil Jagielka, forward Victor Anichebe and midfielder Leon Osman all played for the reserves in midweek but are among those in need of pitch time. Midfielder Darron Gibson (knee) is a few weeks from fitness while on-loan Steven Pienaar is ineligible against his parent club. Winger Aaron Lennon is unavailable after suffering a hamstring injury against Stevenage on Wednesday. Louis Saha has recovered from a knee injury and is fit to face his former club, but Michael Dawson is out for the rest of the season after rupturing ankle ligaments in midweek. William Gallas has fully recovered from a calf injury and is available but Ledley King (knee) will have a late test and Tom Huddlestone (ankle) is out. Match notes The boardroom chatter between Daniel Levy and Bill Kenwright might be as entertaining as the game itself, especially if Everton's chairman suspects his Spurs counterpart of sounding out David Moyes" credentials to replace Harry Redknapp. Moyes could celebrate his 10th anniversary in charge by impressing his opponents so much he won't make it to 11. Phil Jagielka's return to fitness will help. Judging by the rustiness of Jack Rodwell's reserve outing in midweek, his won't. Betting: Home 19/10 Away 13/8 Draw 23/10 Stat of the game: Tottenham have scored more goals in the first 15 minutes than any other Premier League team. Chris Bascombe's prediction: Everton 2 Tottenham Hotspur 2
