In what could prove to be a defining clash at the bottom end of the table, Tottenham Hotspur welcome Everton to the Hotspur Stadium on Sunday (8:30 PM IST). Spurs are under immense pressure as they continue their fight to avoid relegation alongside West Ham, and last week’s defeat to Chelsea only deepened their troubles.
Everton, on the other hand, head into the contest with far less at stake after their hopes of European qualification were ended by a heavy defeat to Sunderland. With survival on the line for the hosts, expect Tottenham to approach this one with urgency and desperation.
Current Standings: Tottenham currently languishes just outside the relegation zone in 17th place with 38 points, while Everton are in 12th with 49 points.
Head-to-Head Record: Tottenham have held the upper hand in this rivalry, winning 32 of the 67 encounters compared to Everton’s 10 victories.
Tottenham suffered a major setback in their battle for survival after falling to Chelsea in a crucial London derby in midweek. Richarlison briefly offered hope in the second half, but by then the damage had already been done as Spurs saw their four-match unbeaten run come to an end.
They had only needed a draw to make survival safe regardless of Sunday’s result, but now the stakes are far higher: defeat to Everton, combined with a West Ham win over Leeds in the final match day, could leave them facing one of the most shocking relegations in Premier League history.
As things stand, the Spurs need at least a point to secure safety, but concern remains over their home form, having gone 10 matches without a win at the Hotspur Stadium. Still, back-to-back home draws may offer a small sign of encouragement heading into the season finale.
Stats that matter
1. Spurs have collected the second lowest number of points from home games in the league this season (12).
2. Richarlison has been involved in five goals in his last five league games against Everton.
3. Tottenham have conceded 1.72 goals per 90 minutes at home this season, with only Wolves having a worse record than that.
Team News
Tottenham are still sweating on a key fitness boost, with a player who was expected back last week missing out through injury and now facing another late test. Cristian Romero remains sidelined as well, along with the club’s long-term absentees.
Tottenham Hotspur Probable XI - Kinsky/Vicario (GK); Porro, Danso, Van de Ven, Udogie, Bentancur, Palhinha, Kolo Muani, Gallagher, Tel, Richarlison.
David Moyes’ side have endured a difficult spell since their impressive 3-1 victory over Chelsea back in March. Since then, Everton have gone six games without a win, drawing three and losing three, a run that ultimately derailed their hopes of European qualification.
Their 3-1 defeat to Sunderland last weekend felt like the final blow, with defensive issues once again proving costly after conceding 14 goals across their last six matches. It has become a frustrating pattern for the Toffees — taking the lead only to let it slip late on.
With little left to fight for in the final game, Everton’s focus may shift toward sentiment and the future. Club captain Seamus Coleman is set for one last Premier League appearance after bringing the curtain down on a remarkable 17-year journey with the club, while Moyes could also use the opportunity to hand valuable minutes to youngsters such as Harrison Armstrong and Tyrique George.
Stats that matter
1. The Toffees have registered only one win in the last seven games in all competitions.
2. Everton have won once in their last 10 away league final games in a season against teams from London.
3. The Toffees have used fewer players (22) and made fewer changes to their starting XI than any other side in the league.
Team News
Idrissa Gueye remains Everton’s only major fitness concern ahead of the Sunderland clash, with his availability still uncertain. Aside from that, the Toffees continue to deal with their long-term absentees.
Everton Probable XI - Pickford (GK); O'Brien, Keane, Tarkowski, Mykolenko, Garner, Iroegbunam, McNeil, Dewsbury-Hall, Ndiaye, Barry/Beto.
From Spurs’ perspective, there probably isn’t a more favourable fixture at this stage, given Everton’s struggles in this matchup. The Toffees have managed just one win in their last 16 Premier League visits to Tottenham, while Spurs eased to a 3-0 victory in the reverse fixture earlier in the season.
Even with their inconsistent home form, there’s enough history and recent dominance for Tottenham to take confidence heading into this one. Unsurprisingly, the bookmakers lean their way too, with Spurs priced around 1.92 for a win compared to 3.6 for a draw with Everton's chances at 3.9. All things considered, Tottenham start as slight favourites, though it may still be tighter than the numbers suggest.
