Everton v Spurs Betting Tips: No sticky Toffees for Tottenham today?

Latest odds and preview for Premier League match

The final Premier League fixture before Christmas looks set to be a cracker as Everton welcome Tottenham Hotspur to Goodison Park.

Marco Silva’s men may be on a poor run of form but their performances at least hint towards a difficult match for today’s visitors. Spurs, though, won’t fear anyone after 10 wins in their last 12 matches, including a 2-0 midweek North London derby success in the Carabao Cup.

You can catch all the action live on Sky Sports Football or Sky Sports Main Event from 4pm.

Head-to-Head

Tottenham rarely come unstuck against the Toffees. Far from proving sticky, the North Londoners are unbeaten in their last 11 matches with Everton. That includes a run of three straight victories which last season produced 3-0 and 4-0 victories.

Goals from Harry Kane either side of Christian Eriksen’s strike proved enough the last time the sides met at Goodison Park. Kane struck another brace in the January meeting as Spurs ran out comfortable winners under the Wembley arch.

Likely XIs

Silva is expected to return to an attack-minded 4-2-3-1 after packing the midfield against Manchester City last week. That could be dependent on the fitness of Idrissa Gueye. The Senegalese midfielder is touch-and-go, and will be assessed prior to kick-off. Richarlison should spearhead the attack with Bernard, Gylfi Sigurdsson and Ademola Lookman in behind.

Spurs have injury problems of their own. Ben Davies looks set to remain alongside Toby Alderweireld in the centre of defence, while Harry Winks should partner Moussa Sissoko in a defensive midfield two. Kane will be restored to the line-up after coming off the bench against Arsenal in midweek.
