Everton legend Ian Snodin has admitted that the side will miss Marouane Fellaini and Steven Pienaar when they travel to Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.
The Blues will have to face Andre Villas-Boas's side without the influential duo, and Snodin has said that they will be missed at White Hart Lane.
"We will miss those two badly against Spurs," Snodin wrote in his column in the Liverpool Echo.
"The opposition will have more attacking options so we're going to need that organisational flexibility and work rate all the more. [Against Stoke City] we did well to mask the absence of the two important playmakers when it came to opposition's final third."
Everton are currently sixth in the Premier League.
