Tottenham Hotspur vs Everton Predictions

• Tottenham are winless in their last 10 Premier League home games
• Spurs have scored in nine of their last 10 league fixtures at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
• Over 2.5 goals and BTTS would have been a winning bet in each of Everton’s last six games

Spurs in desperate need

Tottenham missed the chance to wrap up Premier League survival following defeat at Chelsea during the week and they now face a nervous final day when Everton visit the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Survival is still very much in Spurs’ hands, as they sit two points above West Ham, who currently occupy the final relegation spot, and given their vastly superior goal difference, a point on Sunday should be enough to preserve their top-flight status, regardless of what the Hammers do in their match against Leeds.

Spurs have certainly improved under Roberto De Zerbi – they had gone four matches unbeaten prior to Tuesday’s loss at Stamford Bridge – but their home form remains a major concern, as their last league win at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium came all the way back in early December.

In their 10 top-flight home matches since that 2-0 success over Brentford, Spurs have picked up just three points, but they have at least been scoring goals, netting in nine of those games.

There certainly tends to be plenty of entertainment when Spurs are involved, with 10 of their last 14 matches across all competitions featuring at least three goals, with 11 of those seeing the net bulge at both ends.

Toffees have lost their defensive resilience

Everton’s recent matches have also been entertaining, as over 2.5 goals and BTTS would have been a winning bet in each of their last six games, the problem is that the Toffees have failed to win any of those.

David Moyes has seen his side throw away a lead in each of their last three matches and that has proved costly, as Everton have slipped out of European contention heading into the final day.

Moyes will not let his side down tools, however, as he will be keen to do his former club, West Ham, a favour, but Everton’s record away to Tottenham is poor, as they have won only one of their last 16 visits.

With their need for the points undeniable, Spurs may just have enough to sneak this one, but the sensible play is perhaps to look at both teams scoring in a match featuring at least three goals.

Richarlison could be the hero against former club

Richarlison is Tottenham’s leading scorer this season with 11 league goals, two of which have come in his last three appearances against Aston Villa and Chelsea.

The Brazilian, who will be keen to prove a point after being left out of his country’s World Cup squad, is an ex-Everton player, joining Spurs from the Toffees in 2022, and since his arrival he has netted four goals against his former club.

If he can grab a fifth on Sunday, that could go a long way to ensuring his current side retain their top-flight status.
