Everton vs Tottenham Prediction, Odds and Betting Tips

🏆 Everton vs Tottenham EPL Prediction

This is one of the most prestigious games in English football history, with Everton and Spurs having met 187 times since February 1904. Most recently, Tottenham have held a distinct edge over the Toffees, with Everton only winning two of the last 23 head-to-head clashes in all competitions since December 2012.

Spurs also won the reverse fixture 2-1 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in December, although Everton were competitive throughout here and more than held their own. The Toffees are certainly tenacious and defensively well-organised under manager Sean Dyche, having completed 1,152 ball recoveries in 2023/24 (second only to Liverpool) and won 53.6% of their aerial duels.

However, Everton are only averaging 39.1% possession per 90 this season, compared to 59.3% for Ange Postecoglou’s proactive Spurs outfit. So, despite the Toffees’ home advantage, I expect Spurs to dominate the ball and territory at Goodison, while it should be noted that Tottenham’s tally of 28.76 shot-creating actions per 90 minutes is the fourth highest in the league.

With James Maddison and Micky van der Ven both back in side too, Spurs should find it easier to both make the most of their possession and minimise Everton’s threat in transition. So, I’m tipping a narrow win for Tottenham here, in a game where both sides find the back of the net.

1️⃣ Everton Update

Everton endured a disappointing 0-0 draw against Aston Villa last time out at Goodison Park, while they also drew a blank in the goalless tie at Fulham in midweek.

They’re now without a goal in 331 minutes of competitive Premier League football since Jack Harrison gave the Toffees the lead against Manchester City on December 27th. At the heart of their goalscoring issues is the form of striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who hasn’t scored in 12 EPL games since he hit the winner at West Ham on October 29th. Overall, he has just three league goals this season from an xG value of 7.6.

Everton remain without the influential Abdoulaye Doucoure, as he continues his recovery from a thigh injury. Andre Gomes (calf injury) and Amadou Onana (knee) will also miss the visit of Spurs, although veteran right-back Seamus Coleman may recover from his thigh strain in time. Dele Alli is a long-term absentee thanks to a hip complaint, while Idrissa Gana Gueye may be back in contention after Senegal’s heartbreaking elimination from the African Cup of Nations.

2️⃣ Tottenham Update

While an extensive injury crisis precipitated a run of five EPL games without a win between November 6th and December 7th, Spurs have since rebounded and taken 13 points from their next six matches. This sequence included a 4-1 thumping of Newcastle at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, while they were arguably slightly unfortunate to only earn a point at Old Trafford last time out despite twice falling behind. As a result, Spurs have moved five points clear of sixth-placed West Ham, while they’re now just three points behind Aston Villa and have a game in hand in the quest for Champions League football.

Spurs absentee crisis is finally starting to ease, with James Maddison, Micky van der Ven and Cristian Romero all fully recovered from recent injuries. However, Yves Bissouma remains on international duty at the African Cup of Nations, although Pape Sarr has now returned after Senegal’s quarterfinal exit to host the Ivory Coast. Skipper Son Heung-min remains at the Asia Cup with South Korea, while Manor Solomon (knee injury), Ryan Sessegnon (thigh) and young forward Alejo Veliz (knee) are all sidelined. Giovani Lo Celso is closing in on a return after a thigh strain, but this match may come a little too soon.
