Spurs vs Everton preview

Tottenham host Everton in the 5:30 Premier League match this Saturday. Spurs come into the contest off the back of two consecutive wins, while Everton’s seven-match unbeaten run ended with a defeat last time out.
We look at the form of each team and the potential key players who can make a difference in this contest.

Tottenham Form and Key Players

Tottenham bounced back from a 3-1 North London derby loss and a 0-0 draw at Eintracht Frankfurt with back-to-back wins for the first time since early September.
Spurs beat Brighton 1-0 in the Premier League before defeating Frankfurt (3-2) at home in the Champions League. The Frankfurt win extended Spurs’ 100% winning run at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this season with six wins from their six matches.

Antonio Conte’s team, which now sits third in the Premier League with 20 points, has relied heavily on home performance recently. Tottenham has scored 20 goals and given up only five in their last seven home league games.

Additionally, this season’s outstanding players for the North Londoners have been Harry Kane and Son Heung-min. With eight league goals in nine games, Kane has had a very good start to the year. Therefore, it seems sense that the team’s most consistent goal scorer would be in top form, luring bettors to try their luck at online casinos like this blackjack simulator.

Son too came back from the international break in superb form, scoring twice against Frankfurt. The South Korean also scored a hat-trick in Tottenham’s most recent home Premier League game, a 6-3 victory over Leicester.

Everton Form and Key Players

 

Everton recovered from losing their opening two games of the season by going undefeated in six Premier League games. Before back-to-back victories over West Ham (1-0) and Southampton, there were four straight draws (2-1).
The Toffees lost to Man United 2-1 at home on Sunday, failing to build on their recent strong performance. Frank Lampard’s team has 10 points, which puts them in 12th position in the Premier League despite the loss.

Everton’s recent good form hasn’t changed their uneven road record. In 19 of their last 21 away Premier League games, the Toffees have gone winless. The Merseyside club has won one, drawn two, and been unbeaten in their previous three games.

Anthony Gordon, Everton’s leading scorer, is out with an injury, which will make their Saturday trip to Tottenham harder. Neal Maupay, Alex Iwobi, Demarai Gray, or Dwight McNeil will be relied upon by Lampard to lead the line because they have all scored this season.
Prediction

Tottenham prefers to attack while playing at home, and Conte’s team is gaining confidence after two great victories in the past week. An Everton defence that has preserved just one clean sheet in 20 road games is expected to have issues against Kane and Son.
Additionally, the majority of Everton’s recent victories have come against teams from the middle to bottom half of the table, and the Toffees struggled last weekend against Man United at home.

The Toffees face a tough test at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and a home win is likely in North London on Saturday evening.
