Preview: Everton vs Tottenham Hotspur – Prediction, Team News, Line-ups

Everton will return to Premier League action for the second time this week as they welcome Tottenham Hotspur to Goodison Park on Sunday.

The two teams will be desperate for a win as both have been massively struggling for form recently.

Match Preview

David Moyes took charge of his first game on Wednesday night against Aston Villa since returning to Everton after 12 years.

But there was no new manager bounce for the Scot as his side slumped to a disappointing 1-0 loss.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin squandered a brilliant opportunity in injury time, as Villa ran out 1-0 winners at Goodison.

Fortunately for the Toffees, Ipswich Town, Leicester City and Wolverhampton Wanderers also lost, which meant they kept their 16th place in the table.

Moyes has no time to dwell on the midweek defeat, as he must turn his attention to the upcoming game against Tottenham.

The Lilywhites have also been enduring a torrid campaign, and they will enter Sunday’s game on the back of a 2-1 loss to Arsenal.

Their massive struggles this term has ramped up the pressure on manager Ange Postecoglou, though the Aussie boss is still said to hold the backing of the club’s hierarchy.

Everton have several injury woes this weekend, with Dwight McNeil, Seamus Coleman, Tim Iroegbunam and Youssef Chermiti all unlikely to be involved against Spurs.

As for Spurs, Timo Werner, Destiny Udogie, Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero will all be missing due to fitness issues in a concerning Tottenham news. The availability of Brennan Johnson and Yves Bissouma is also doubtful for the away encounter.

Everton vs Tottenham Hotspur prediction

Confidence in the Everton camp is not expected to be very high after the recent run of results. Scoring goals has been one of their biggest issues this term. But we expect them to breach Tottenham’s defences at least once this weekend, though that may not be enough to secure them a victory at Goodison.
