Everton – Tottenham

Everton head into the home clash with Tottenham sitting eighth in the table, having amassed six points from one win and three draws while scoring five and conceding three. Tottenham, languishing in 17th place with just two points from two draws and two defeats and a bleak five‑goal deficit, will be desperate to claw back into the safety zone. The encounter pits Everton’s modestly positive goal difference against a Spurs side that has yet to find the net this season, setting the stage for a potentially decisive battle for both clubs’ ambitions. A win for the Toffees could cement their push for a top‑half finish, whereas a positive result would be vital for Tottenham’s relegation fight.
