Carlo Ancelotti and Jose Mourinho will be having a tactical battle of their own.

3. Carlo Ancelotti vs. Jose Mourinho

Probably two of the most successful in the last 15 years go against each other on Sunday. There is a lot of belief in Carlo Ancelotti and his methods. When he came at Goodison Park mid season, he was given a team that was not his. It was shades of Marco Silva, Ronald Koeman and Sam Allardyce. The pre-season gave Ancellotti a chance to bring players of his liking and infuse his ideas into the team during pre-season.

The blue half of Merseyside believes that Don Carlo is the man who can take Everton to where it belongs. Tomorrow is a real test. However, there’s a disclaimer. If things go south tomorrow, please don’t think that Carlo Ancelotti is not the right man and Everton are still hinging in mediocrity. The rise to the top steps take time, it is never an overnight process.

Ancelotti and Mourinho are two very tactical and rational managers. The way they field their side and play a particular style will say a lot about their intentions. Both of them are huge admirers of each other’s work and have a lot of respect for each other.

For Carlo Ancelotti, a positive result against Mourinho and Tottenham Hotspur will be a giant leap in the right direction. The direct possession based style of Carlo Ancelotti can possibly hurt Spurs given that the Mourinho’s Spurs aren’t as defensively sound as the Portuguese would have wanted them to be. The tactical battle between the managers will be a key factor in determining which team has an upper hand on other at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium.
