Both Tottenham Hotspur and Everton are without some of their key players for this afternoon's Premier League encounter at White Hart Lane.

Gareth Bale, Jermain Defoe and Aaron Lennon are all out injured for hosts Spurs, which in turn has provided an opportunity to Emmanuel Adebayor, who will feature as a lone striker.

Meanwhile, the suspended Marouane Fellaini and Steven Pienaar will play no part for the visitors.

However, manager David Moyes has handed a start to teenage midfielder Ross Barkley.

Tottenham: Lloris; Walker, Caulker, Dawson, Vertonghen; Parker, Dembele, Sigurdsson, Holtby, Dempsey; Adebayor

Everton: Howard; Coleman, Baines, Distin, Jagielka; Heitinga, Gibson, Mirallas, Osman, Barkley; Anichebe
