Jose Mourinho has suggested that Everton are just at the beginning of their journey under Carlo Ancelotti, insisting that the Toffees boss is one of the best in the world – .

Spurs travel to Goodison Park on Friday for a clash that could ha✱ve major implications for both clubs’ European aspirations ahead of next season.

Tottenham are seventh i💮n the table, while the hosts are one place lower. Neither has won either of their last two games. Everton do however, boast a game in hand.

And ahead of the game, Mourinho outlined just how tough a task it is goin🅠g to be given the opposition they are set ♒to go up against.

“I think they go in the right direction,” he said, . “They have got a big coach, one of the best in the world. They got important players and players of two directions, they get a player coming from Real Madrid and two from Barcelona and at the same time they get the young guy that comes from Norwich, people from different f𒁃ormations.

“They have a very good squad and I think this is just the beginning for them. I believe with Carlo’s quality and experience, the work and improving, this is just t🌃he beginning for them.”

TBR View: Pivotal clash for Everton and Spurs

It does💖 feel that any side that does not win on Friday may be all but out of the top four race. 𝔍But Spurs are arguably under a little more pressure.

Of cour♓se, the expectations have been much higher in North London. And having played a game more than ဣEverton, they obviously have fewer opportunities to catch up.

Spurs also have a Carabao Cup final coming up on the horizon. So it would be hugely beneficial for Tottenham to regainꦑ some momentum.

Gett🐓ing the better of one of the world’s best bosses will certainly be a fantastic way for Mourinho’s men to𒐪 start getting back on track.
