Everton vs Tottenham prediction: ENGLAND: Premier League betting tips on match 2025-01-18 14:00.
[p]David Moyes’ homecoming at Everton didn’t go to plan as the Toffees fell to a slender 1-0 defeat at home to Aston Villa on Wednesday night. It was a result that left the Blues just a point above the relegation zone at the end of the evening and extended their dismal run to just one win in 12 Premier League matches (D6, L5).[/p]
[p]The last three league games in that sequence all ended in defeat without scoring a single goal, highlighting again that it’s the Toffees’ misfiring attack that’ll be of grave concern for the returning Moyes. The severity of their attacking woes are emphasised by the fact they’re now just one of four teams in Premier League history to have failed to score in 12 games or more games from their opening 20.  [/p]
[p]A boost for Everton, at first glance at least, might be that their next game comes against Tottenham Hotspur, a side with seven defeats in their past 11 league games, including a loss to their biggest rivals Arsenal on Wednesday night (2-1). That defeat means Spurs start this round closer to the bottom three rather than the top four and with manager Ange Postecoglou reportedly close to the chop. [/p]
[p]Wednesday’s painful setback was Tottenham’s 11th defeat of the league campaign, which is their joint-most at this stage of a single season in Premier League history. Yet perhaps their H2H record at Goodison Park can boost confidence, with none of their last 11 away league visits ending in defeat (W3, D8), while another win would see them do the double over the Toffees for the first time since 2017/18. [/p]
[p]Players to watch: Everton defender Jarrad Branthwaite scored a late equaliser in this fixture last season (2-2), but has been attracting attention for the wrong reasons more recently with three yellow cards in his past four league appearances. Former Toffee Richarlison made his return from injury for Spurs as a second-half substitute against Arsenal and haunted his former club last season with a brace at Goodison Park in that aforementioned stalemate. [/p]
[p]Hot stat: Tottenham have lost eight of their 31 Premier League games under Ange Postecoglou when they’ve scored the first goal (26%) – the highest percentage of any permanent Spurs manager.[/p]
