The hard work continues at Hotspur Way as Ange Postecoglou's Tottenham side look to return to winning ways this weekend against Everton. Fresh from their 2-1 defeat at Arsenal on Wednesday evening, Spurs desperately need to claim three points to ensure they do not fall even further behind the teams in the top half of the Premier League table.

Games between the sides at Goodison Park do tend to be very tight affairs, with the last five league meetings on Merseyside all ending in a draw. A draw is not the result either side will want on Sunday, though, as Everton also need the win to create a gap between themselves and the bottom three.

Ahead of the game at Everton, Spurs have given fans a little glimpse into their preparations following the release of their latest training video. Here are five things we spotted in the session at the club's Enfield base:

Richarlison sharp

Richarlison returned to action for Tottenham on Wednesday evening with a bright cameo off the bench against Arsenal. Due to his injury woes this season and the fact he only made his comeback a couple of days ago, a start at his former home may come too soon for him as Postecoglou won't want to push him too much and risk another injury.

Richarlison is certainly looking sharp in front of goal if Tottenham's training footage is anything to go by. Involved in a drill with players such as Ben Davies, Mikey Moore, Will Lankshear, Yang Min-hyeok and some academy stars, the Brazilian displayed his range of finishing by finding the back of the net a number of times when played through on goal.

Scoring twice in the same fixture last February, he will be looking to find the scoresheet again at Goodison Park as he attempts to finally get his season up and running.

Defender returns

There was a welcome sight on the training ground as Davies was involved in training ahead of Sunday's game at Everton. Not featuring for Spurs in just over a month since sustaining a hamstring injury at Bournemouth, the Welshman was expected to return in late December before suffering another setback that would keep him on the sidelines for a further couple of weeks.

Speaking in his pre-match press conference on Friday afternoon, Postecoglou indicated that the Welshman "should be involved" in the squad this weekend. Davies' return will certainly come as a boost to the head coach and allow him to tweak things at the back if he so wishes as Radu Dragusin and Archie Gray have played so much football at centre-back since early December.

Forster spotted

Fraser Forster was another to be back on the training pitch after an absence from the team. Missing out through illness in the home defeat to Newcastle United two weeks ago, the experienced goalkeeper was also not involved in the following matches against Liverpool, Tamworth and Arsenal.

In his pre-match press conference, Postecoglou revealed that Forster's first full involvement in training since his time out through illness was in fact this week. He said: "He is back in training doing his first full training session sort of today and maybe the day before the last game. He is back in training."

The return of the ex-Celtic man does present Postecoglou with a decision to make in terms of his squad as it could result in Brandon Austin dropping out of the matchday 20. However, the academy graduate was excellent on his senior debut in Forster's absence and it may be he who retains his place as the 36-year-old is forced to watch on from the stands.

Two training groups

What was evident in the training video was that the Tottenham players involved in the session were split into two different groups. The first group featured the outfield players who played all or the majority of Wednesday's defeat against Arsenal.

Dragusin, Archie Gray, Lucas Bergvall, Pape Matar Sarr, James Maddison and Son Heung-min were just some of the players in question as they were involved in some light training after playing at the Emirates. The video showed the players partaking in some running drills and stretches at a time when the second group were playing a small-sided game.

As mentioned above, Richarlison, Davies, Moore, Lankshear, Yang and Sergio Reguilon worked together and they were joined by Forster, Austin, Antonin Kinsky and Alfie Whiteman for the training exercise.

Absent players

There are now question marks over Yves Bissouma and Brennan Johnson's fitness heading into Sunday's game at Everton. The former started the game at Arsenal but was hooked at the break, with the latter introduced at half-time as Spurs attempted to find a way back into the contest.

"There's a couple still sore from midweek, just waiting to see how Brennan is, he's got a bit of a calf complaint, and Biss has been sore as well, so just waiting for information on them," said Postecoglou in his time with the press on Friday.

The aforementioned players were not spotted in Tottenham's training video that was released on Saturday morning. As expected, there was also no sighting of injured stars Guglielmo Vicario, Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven, Destiny Udogie, Wilson Odobert and Timo Werner, with Rodrigo Bentancur also not there after suffering a concussion against Liverpool just over a week ago.
