Can’t imagine Dyche plays him if he hasn’t trained.

Holgate - Keane - O-Brien - Myko back four?
 
Might be a blessing in diguise. Spurs was always going to be a difficult ask anyways, so Obrien is nailed on to play as Holgate will likely be covering RB. Dyche should use this one to just get a look at the new guys. He would have been excused last week and he will be excused this week if he actually gives them a run. If he doesn’t, he will rightly be criticized.

He'll play Holgate right back because he'll say it's too much of a risk to play O'Brien with someone like Dixon.

It'll be Holgate, Keane, O'Brien and Myko

This is one of those times where Dyche should actually prioritize the cup game. Rest Doucore and Harrison for that and get a good look at whoever for this one. Lindstrom, Ndiaye and Beto (more because Dom is asking for a move) should play here. Get minutes under their belt so we can learn where they need to improve. Spurs away with all of these injuries is almost a guaranteed loss. Either way, we need to see these guys by Tuesday. Hopefully get a look at Dixon too for one of these.
 
Doubt for the weekend. Can guarantee we'll just throw him in out of desperation and he'll pull up.

If this was end of the season he'd play through the pain barrier but early days so logical to me to leave him out for the next two and get him right for Bournemouth as really need to be getting some points from that game, ideally three and far more chance with him on the field.
 

James has been a revelation ever since he joined the club, a proper Pro but he must be weary of fighting relegation battles, almost every year with Burnley and now four consecutive seasons with Everton.....

Well that's the highlight of his career unfortunately, and he won't ever move to a 'better' or 'more successful' club after Everton due to his age.

This is as good as it gets for him - he's probably got two seasons left in him in at a decent standard before he is (or should be but probably won't be) shifted to third choice.
 
Even tarks with his wolverine like healing factor and immaculate fitness couldn't evade the punishing effects of gaffer day. Unless he got injured from too much shagging which hey some part of his life should be enjoyable
