Tottenham vs Everton prediction: ENGLAND: Premier League betting tips on match 2022-10-14 16:30.
A week on from becoming the first visiting Premier League (PL) club to win at Brighton in seven months, Tottenham are looking to preserve their own lengthy PL winning streak at home (W7) that ironically dates back to a loss to Brighton in April 2022. Still assured of a top-four place by the end of the weekend regardless of what happens here, Spurs’ lofty position in the standings illustrates their strength despite recently sustaining their first and only loss of the PL season (W6, D2) in the North London Derby.
A first-half blitzkrieg cancelled out some shambolic early defending against Eintracht Frankfurt in the Champions League (W 3-2) during midweek to secure back-to-back competitive wins for the first time in a month. As well as seeing Lucas Moura return from a two-month layoff, manager Antonio Conte also rejoiced during the week about the likely return of Dejan Kulusevski, sarcastically describing it to a reporter as “good news for Everton – we should have everyone available”.
Though they’d certainly rather be amongst the continental action, Everton’s absence from Europe this season will assist them in negotiating an already busy October that includes a tricky trip to Newcastle following this clash. Some excellent opportunities for points await beyond this pair of away games, so if they can take anything away from Tottenham it could see them dive deep into the top half of the standings in November.
Needless to say manager Frank Lampard will want a better showing than the 5-0 loss from his previous trip to Tottenham, which was part of the seven consecutive away losses in all competitions that he began his Everton managerial tenure with. In fact, Everton have long struggled on the road in the Lampard era, with their 2-1 win at Southampton earlier in the month just his second PL away victory as the Everton gaffer (W2, D3, L8), with the other in May against current relegation contenders Leicester City.
Players to watch: Though he was visibly tired by the end of the win over Frankfurt, the sight of Everton shirts should reinvigorate Tottenham forward Harry Kane, as he has scored in seven of his last ten competitive H2Hs including six PL doubles. This has been a nightmare matchup in the past for Everton winger Demarai Gray, who has lost six of his ten games against Spurs (W2, D2) without a single goal scored.
Hot streak: Tottenham have scored in 14 consecutive PL matches (averaging 2.36 goals per game).
