Each team's starting lineup from their previous match in this tournament is listed.
Everton
David Moyes' return to the Liverpool club was unsuccessful. His new charges lost 0-1 at home to Aston Villa. This was their third consecutive defeat in the league, all without scoring. In addition, the team had drawn three times before that. Thus, Everton's winless streak in the Premier League is six matches, during which they have scored only one goal. The club is currently outside the relegation zone but is only one point ahead of the nearest opponent among the bottom three.
Midfielders James Garner and Dwight McNeil will miss the match due to injuries.
- At least one team has failed to score in 10 of Everton's last 11 league matches.
- No more than two goals have been scored in Everton's last six Premier League matches.
- The first half ended in a draw in 9 of the club's last 12 league games.
Tottenham
Ange Postecoglou's team is in a similar situation to Everton, having won just one of their last nine Premier League matches (2 draws and 6 losses). As a result, the club has dropped to 13th place in the standings, eight points ahead of the nearest relegation zone opponent. In January, the Londoners have only lost in the league, with identical 1-2 scores to Newcastle and Arsenal. Notably, they have the second most prolific attack in the Premier League, scoring 43 goals.
Due to injuries, defenders Destiny Udogie, Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven, and Ben Davies, forwards Timo Werner and Wilson Odobert, goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario, and midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur are unavailable.
- At least three goals have been scored in 6 of Tottenham's last 7 Premier League matches.
- One team has failed to score in 5 of Tottenham's last 6 away league matches.
- At least two goals have been scored in the first half of 6 of the club's last 7 league games.
Everton vs. Tottenham: Match Prediction
In their last seven home Premier League games, Everton has won just once (4 draws and 2 losses). It's worth noting that in their last 21 league matches, Everton has won only three times – besides Wolverhampton, they managed to beat Ipswich and Crystal Palace, who are not higher than 14th in the standings. Given Everton's weak attacking play, I predict the hosts will drop points again.
Tottenham is likely to part ways with their head coach if they lose to Everton. The team has played seven matches against opponents below them in the standings this season and has not lost in five of them (3 wins and 2 draws). I predict that the Londoners will at least not lose at Goodison Park, especially since they have not lost to Everton in league play at this venue in 12 meetings (3 wins and 9 draws).
My prediction – Tottenham with a handicap (0)
