Tottenham v Everton

Tottenham vs Everton Preview

Tottenham will head into this upcoming fixture with Everton with renewed confidence after posting recent back-to-back wins following their 2-0 win away from home at Nottingham Forest last weekend, while Everton will be seeking to make it five league wins on the trot as the Sean Dyche-led revolution continues to gather pace for The Toffees.

Recent back-to-back wins against Newcastle United 4-1 and the aforementioned 2-0 win away from home at Nottingham Forest have seemingly shifted Tottenham back on track for a possible European spot next season as Spurs occupy fifth place in the Premier League table ahead of this weekend's top flight action.

However, Tottenham had previously slumped to an alarming five games without a win in the English top flight and to make matters worse, Ange Postecoglou's side had also been dealt four defeats within this five-game period following losses at the hands of Chelsea, Wolves, Aston Villa and West Ham respectively, so a more conservative jury may still be out as to whether Spurs have turned the corner yet in terms of form and results.

Spurs have collected five wins from their eight home games to date but the recent flurry of defeats (three in their last four games) suggests this could be an uncomfortable afternoon for the north London outfit.

In hindsight, a 10-point penalty deduction was perhaps a blessing in disguise as The Toffees have embarked upon an impressive four-match winning streak which consists of vitally important wins against Nottingham Forest, Newcastle United, Chelsea and Burnley respectively, which in turn have helped lift the merseyside club into a more respectable looking 16th place in the Premier League table.

That said, without the deduction, Everton would have been sitting in a top half position of ninth or 10th place but this at least gives an indication as to the great job that manager Sean Dyche has done so far this season at Everton as the bigger picture shows the visitors have lost just once in their last eight league matches overall.

Six wins within these last eight games also underlines the potential threat posed by Everton especially away from home as The Toffees have collected wins on the road at West Ham, Crystal Palace, Nottingham Forest and Burnley within this recent period and they should not be ruled out for a result here on Saturday afternoon either.

Tottenham v Everton Verdict

Tottenham's consistency seemingly hangs by a thread heading into this clash and the hosts will need to be on their game from the kick-off here if they're to avoid a potential banana-skin in the shape of Everton on Saturday.

Everton have lost just twice in their last seven meetings with Spurs and this should give The Toffees plenty of confidence for this trip.

Therefore, our main bet will be Everton win @ 4.00
