Dimitar Berbatov sends message to Tottenham Hotspur forward Richarlison

Well, Tottenham Hotspur will lock horns with Everton at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.

Both Spurs and the Toffees are in good form at the moment. Tottenham have won their last two Premier League games. Everton are on a four-game winning run in the league.

Richarlison is very likely to start the match for Spurs. The Brazil international forward scored against Nottingham Forest in the last game. He is getting better.

The £50 million () Brazilian star, who is likely to lead the line against his former club Everton, has scored four goals and given three assists in nine Premier League starts for Tottenham this season. Dejan Kulusevski has been impressed.

Former Spurs striker Dimitar Berbatov has backed Spurs to win 2-1 against Everton in North London.

The pundit has also urged Richarlison to step up when Son Heung-min is away on international duty with South Korea for.

Berbatov told : “Sean Dyche is great, I love him! But Spurs are on a roll and before they lose Son, who is going to the AFC Asian Cup in January, they need to take full advantage of his role in the team. 

“Richarlison will need to step up even more when Son is not there and now he is scoring goals. Spurs need to win to stay close to the top four, so I will go for them.

“Prediction: 2-1.”

Richarlison could now star for Spurs

Richarlison has not had the best of times at Tottenham Hotspur, but the Brazilian is now starting to find his feet.

The 26-year-old scored just one goal and gave three assists in 12 starts and 15 substitute appearances in the Premier League last season.

Richarlison is already doing much better this time around. I believe that he will play a big role for Tottenham this season. Spurs are aiming to finish in the top four of the Premier League table.
