Jack Grealish is set to start for Everton in their upcoming match against Tottenham, marking his first appearance in a starting lineup since returning on loan for a second consecutive season. The 31-year-old English wide player joined Everton in the summer and has already made an impact as a substitute in recent games. Manager David Moyes confirmed during a press conference that Grealish is now ready to start, noting that the player benefits more from playing time than from training sessions. "He’s probably a boy who needs a football more than he needs the training sometimes," Moyes said, adding that Grealish has had a strong week of training and is beginning to look ready for the starting role.
Grealish quickly became a fan favorite during his first loan spell at Everton, but his initial campaign was cut short in January due to a foot injury. Moyes expressed high hopes for the player’s return, saying, "Incredibly exciting if he gives us what he gave us at the start of last season. If we get that level from him then we’ll be thrilled." However, the manager also noted that the team is still waiting for another key summer signing, Christian Norgaard, who remains sidelined with an injury. Norgaard is not expected to return until after the upcoming international break, which has been a disappointment for Moyes. "I don’t think we expected it to be as long as this," he said, emphasizing the importance of Norgaard’s experience and leadership.
Everton has started the Premier League season strongly, remaining undefeated after wins and draws against Crystal Palace, Bournemouth, and Manchester United. Their next challenge is a trip to Tottenham, who are yet to secure a win this season. Tottenham manager Roberto De Zerbi’s team has struggled to score, managing only a goalless draw with Nottingham Forest last weekend after earlier losses to Brentford and Newcastle. However, Spurs have received positive news with the confirmation that midfielder Lucas Bergvall has signed a new contract, ending speculation about his potential departure from the club.
The upcoming match between Everton and Tottenham promises to be a crucial test for both teams. While Everton looks to maintain their unbeaten record, Tottenham will be eager to break their winless streak. With Grealish set to start and Norgaard still sidelined, the outcome of this game could have significant implications for both sides as they continue their respective campaigns in the Premier League.
