Tottenham vs Everton prediction: ENGLAND: Premier League betting tips on match 2023-12-22 15:00.
[p]After a disappointing run of five Premier League (PL) games without a win saw them slip away from the summit of the table, Tottenham look to be rediscovering their form again after securing victories in each of their past two outings against Newcastle and Nottingham Forest. While manager Ange Postecoglou will be most pleased with the six points obtained from those wins, his positive influence on the Spurs’ attack is underlined by the fact that his team remain the only one to have scored in every PL game this season. [/p]
[p]The hosts will come into this game fresher of the two sides after Everton suffered a penalty shootout heartache at home to Fulham in the quarter-final of the Carabao Cup this week. And even despite the away side’s red-hot form, that factor plus Spurs’ record of having lost just one of the last 21 PL H2Hs (W10, D10), highlights why they start as the bookmakers’ favourites. [/p]
[p]Despite suffering their first defeat in five competitive matches on Tuesday (W4), the mood in the Everton camp shouldn’t be too despondent as defender Michael Keane’s own goal in that 1-1 draw means Sean Dyche’s side have now gone 465 minutes of action without an opposition player breaching Jordan Pickford’s net. Their league form in that time has also helped to open a comfortable seven-point gap to the bottom three ahead of this matchday – whilst it’s also all but wiped away the ten-point deduction handed down by a PL commission last month. [/p]
[p]Although the Toffees now travel to one of the tougher venues in the country, they should be confident of bouncing back given their fine form on the road this season – especially in the capital. Everton have won all three league trips to London so far this season and you’d have to go back to September 1912 for the last time they won four there in succession. [/p]
[p]Players to watch: Former Everton favourite Richarlison has scored three goals in his last two PL games, more than he had in his first 39 appearances for Tottenham (two). His replacement at Goodison, Dwight McNeil, has been involved in four goals in his last four PL matches (G2, A2).[/p]
[p]Hot stat: Everton could win five consecutive top-flight away games for the first time since April 1970. [/p]
