Knee taken, kick-off taken.

Holgate has really blossomed of late in that centre-back role. International honours on the horizon? You wouldn't rule it out.

Anyway, we are moments away from kick-off now in north London.

BBC Radio 5 Live

Everton defender Mason Holgate: "It has been going quite well for us, seven points from nine since the restart and next week decides how it will go for the rest of the season in our aim of getting into Europe,

"I have played with Michael Keane a few times and I get along with him, as long as I am playing I am happy.

"It was weird coming in, at the time I had just turned 18 after Barnsley and I learnt two or three years later it was not always going to be easy.

"For me personally, I felt like I had not been consistently playing and the manager coming in was not going to know too much about me so that was frustrating.

"Carlo Ancelotti has a clarity on things and that has surprised me, everyone's job on the field and knowing what everyone is doing. Everybody is starting to get the benefits of that and all the team is on the same page.

"Most times when he comes to speak to you, it is not about football. It is about family and he tells you what he has been doing. It is nice to know someone is caring as a person and it makes it an easy environment. Managers before, you are dreading when they come up to you."

Not sure I totally follow but here come some men building the litle plinth for the ball. The players will be with us soon, Spurs testing their giant screens with some motivational clips of past glories.

'These streets are home to the MIGHTY SPURS'

Tottenham Hotspur

Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho speaking to Sky Sports on the two changes and whether it was as a result of the 3-1 loss against Sheffield United: "If I'm going to change players because of the match against Sheffield United I would change 11 players.

"It's just a different way. We know Davinson Sanchez and Toby Alderweireld are different players. We expect them to play with two strikers to try to press the ball - Toby is more comfortable with players in his face."

Get Ray Houghton out for punditry duties - Oxford are off to Wembley.

All the reaction and the second semi final here.

Everton

Manager Carlo Ancelotti on Everton's recent results which has seen them pick up two wins from two: "Give credit to the players. They have performed well. In football you have to move on from difficulties. We now are in a good shape and good spirit. We have to show good football tonight."

Playing against a direct rival: "It's an important game tonight, but there are six games to the end. All important. Six finals. To play in the Europa League we have to fight for six games."

Davies in for Gordon? "Tom performed well against Leicester. I think he's fresh. We need fresh legs in midfield."

Facing Mourinho: "It's always a pleasure to meet Jose. He's a good friend and fantastic manager."

No, that doesn't sound ideal.

Some very good players in the squad as well, no?

Oliver Camp: The thing to understand about Spurs is that we have a number of poor players who would perform badly in any system, and a number of good players who perform astonishingly badly in the system José has introduced. These are not happy times

Playoff pens drama!

Steve in Lewes is the hype man we all need tonight.

The stadium DJ has cranked up Insomnia by Faithless at ear-shattering volume. Not sure he's getting quite the response he would have dreamt of, just a handful of blokes in tracksuits knocking a ball about.

The players are going through their final warm-ups now on what looks like another chilly July evening.

Everton’s Tom Davies will make his 100th Premier League appearance tonight. At just 22 years and 6 days he's the second youngest player to reach 100 Premier League games for the Toffees, after Michael Ball in December 2000 (21y 68d).

I'll be keeping an eye on right-back Serge Aurier tonight. Kyle Walker-Peters was very decent for Southampton last night and I wonder if he's still got a potential future at Tottenham. Thoughts?

Carlo has just done his pre-match interview, he's the only man in the world who looks younger for lockdown. Sharp as you like.

When you watch Everton, you can see they are slowly morphing into an Italian team under Carlo Ancelotti. I never thought they would be able to get him as manager, but his arrival has been a real coup.

The Toffees are going to be an interesting team next season because they have got money and they will back Ancelotti in the transfer market. They will be targeting the top six, for starters.

So will Tottenham. After what happened to them against Sheffield United on Thursday, I would expect a reaction from Jose Mourinho's side. It will be a good battle, but I'm going for a Spurs win.

Prediction: 2-0

Hugo Lloris, Seamus Coleman and Gylfi Sigurdsson all played in that game eight years ago as well.

Everton are winless in their last 14 Premier League meetings with Tottenham (D7 L7) since a 2-1 win in December 2012 at Goodison Park.

Gylfi shunted out to the wing at Spurs again...

Tottenham make two changes to the side that lost at Sheffield United last time out.

Toby Alderweireld comes in at the back to replace Davinson Sanchez, while Harry Winks is in for Steven Bergwijn.

Spurs XI: Lloris, Aurier, Alderweireld, Dier, Davies, Sissoko, Lo Celso, Moura, Winks, Son, Kane.

Everton make just one change to the side that defeated Leicester in their previous game, with Tom Davies coming in for Anthony Gordon.
