Everton vs Tottenham Hotspur Predictions

• Tottenham have won five of their last seven league matches
• Over 3.5 goals has landed in Spurs’ last four outings
• Richarlison has seven goals in his last seven Premier League games

Tottenham on the charge?

Tottenham saw off a spirited display from Brentford in midweek to win 3-2 and move back into the Premier League top four after winning five of their last seven matches. The club have dealt well with the absence of their talisman and captain Son Heung-min, who remains at the Asian Cup with his national team.

Most of Spurs’ major injury issues from earlier in the season have gone away and the return of first choice central defender Micky van de Ven and creator James Maddison to the fold has been key to their success.

Ange Postecoglou’s attacking style of play can leave the team open, as seen in their 4-2 defeat to Brighton and the fact that both teams have scored in 15 of their last 19 league games.

However they have a tendency to outscore their opponents and have netted 47 times in just 22 league games this term. That heavy scoring will be the key to this clash and they could well get the better of Everton because of it.

Toffees in trouble

Everton looked to be on the path to Premier League safety despite their ten-point deduction recently but taking two points from the last 15 available, coupled with the resurgence of Luton, has dragged Sean Dyche’s side back into the bottom three.

They have scored just 24 times in 22 outings and have underperformed their expected goals tally more than almost any other team in Europe. The Toffees also have a number of injury issues in midfield for this outing, as seen by the fact that Dwight McNeil lined up in the centre of the park last time out.

Everton’s home record also leaves a bit to be desired, they have lost six of their 11 games in their Goodison farewell and hosting Tottenham in their current goalscoring form is no mean feat.

Back Spurs to continue their good recent form with another win.

Richarlison could haunt former club

In the not too distant past Richarlison was a fan favourite at Everton but he could come back to deepen the woes of the home supporters in this clash if he continues his good goalscoring form.

The Brazilian has seven in his last seven Premier League games and is well suited to Ange Postecoglou’s style of play, take him to get on the scoresheet again here.

Tottenham’s last four league games have gone over 3.5 goals and they are unlikely to stop their attacking style of play any time soon, take a 3-1 win for the visitors in this one.
