- Tottenham have won 1, drawn 2 and lost 2 of their last 5 games.
- Everton are unbeaten in their last 5 matches (W3, D2).
Toffees can be a thorn in Spurs’ side
Tottenham Hotspur are 18th in the Premier League 2026/2027 with just one point from three games, while Everton have picked up four points from a possible six in 10th place. Spurs head into this encounter as narrow favourites, but we feel that the Toffees can be a major thorn in their side this weekend.
The Toffees arrive at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in good form after notching up their 4-0 win over Preston North End in the EFL Cup 2026/2027, following that up with a hard-fought 1-1 draw away to Bournemouth in the Premier League 2026/2027 last time out.
Ahead of this fixture, Everton are now unbeaten in five across all competitions (W3, D2) and they will arrive full of confidence following a fantastic 4-0 win at Preston North End in the EFL Cup 2026/2027.
The Toffees will likely set up to be pragmatic, but they do have the talent to cause Tottenham plenty of problems on the counter attack. Harrison Armstrong can provide a creative spark for Everton with one assist in two games in the Premier League 2026/2027, while Thierno Barry is their main goal threat with five of the Toffees' ten goals in their last five games.
In contrast, Roberto De Zerbi's Tottenham prefer to dominate the ball, with the Italian implementing a high-pressing, rotation-based 4-3-3 system with some great results and many others which have fallen flat.
After beating Everton 1-0 in the Premier League 2025/2026, they were stunned 0-2 at home to Newcastle on the opening day before they held Nottingham Forest to a goalless draw away at the City Ground earlier today.
The clash of styles could make this an interesting game, with Everton set to frustrate Spurs before looking to pounce on the break. We're going for BTTS at 1.73, as Tottenham are vulnerable at the back on home soil and Everton will be in the rhythm of going forward.
The draw is at 3.5 and Everton are at 3.65, but we'll stick with the Spurs at 2.02, as we think the home advantage and the momentum of recent H2H results can see Spurs pip a close encounter.
