Match Preview for Everton v Tottenham
Tottenham make the trip north to face an unbeaten Everton side at the Hill Dickinson Stadium on Sunday afternoon, aiming to rediscover their consistency in the Premier League.
Thomas Frank’s team have managed just one win in their last five matches across all competitions, while David Moyes’s Toffees have made their new home a fortress.
After the chaos of last season, Spurs’ current sixth-place standing represents progress, yet recent results have raised some questions.
A 2-1 home defeat to Aston Villa last weekend extended their patchy form, leaving them five points off leaders Arsenal and clinging to a top-six position.
Ironically, Tottenham’s struggles at home contrast sharply with their impressive away record – they remain the only unbeaten side on the road in the Premier League this season, having taken 10 points from a possible 12.
A resilient midweek draw at Monaco in the Champions League showed their defensive improvement, as Guglielmo Vicario produced a standout display to secure a clean sheet.
Everton, meanwhile, continue to thrive in front of their fans. Moyes’s men are unbeaten in their first four home league matches at their new ground, collecting eight points and conceding only three goals in that time. Their only setback last weekend came away at Manchester City, losing 2-0 to Erling Haaland’s double, but they remain firmly mid-table with room to climb.
Team news for Everton v Tottenham
Tottenham’s growing injury crisis shows little sign of easing. Cristian Romero (adductor) and Destiny Udogie (knee) have joined a lengthy absentee list that includes James Maddison (ACL), Ben Davies (muscle), Radu Dragusin (ACL), Dejan Kulusevski (knee), Kota Takai (foot), Dominic Solanke (ankle) and Yves Bissouma (ankle), the latter recovering from surgery.
Mathys Tel has returned and could start after a knock to Wilson Odobert, while Randal Kolo Muani is pushing for his first Premier League start.
Everton welcome back Jack Grealish, who was ineligible against his parent club Manchester City. However, Jarrad Branthwaite faces surgery on a hamstring injury, and Nathan Patterson remains sidelined with a foot issue. Carlos Alcaraz may drop out to accommodate Grealish’s return.
Expected line-ups for Everton v Tottenham Hotspur
Everton: Pickford; O’Brien, Keane, Tarkowski, Mykolenko; Garner, Gueye; Ndiaye, Dewsbury-Hall, Grealish; Barry

Prediction
Given Tottenham’s lengthy injury list and Everton’s formidable home form, this has all the makings of a tight contest. Spurs’ away resilience should earn them something, but Moyes’s men rarely falter on Merseyside.
