Tottenham travel to Everton in the lunchtime kick-off in the Premier League.
Spurs will hope to build on their comeback victory over Brentford midweek as they continue to fight for a top four finish.
Sean Dyche’s side have underperformed this season in terms of their points return given their underlying numbers, with the eighth-most shots in the league, according to fbref.
A goalless draw with Fulham last time out, a third in their last five games, points to a need for a cutting edge in the final third.
Here’s everything you need to know for the match and here are the latest Everton v Tottenham odds and tips.

“It was tough for him, because he does love his football, he loves the environment of football clubs, he loves the dressing room,” Postecoglou said.
