Everton v Tottenham Premier League Betting Odds
Everton to win: 19/10 at Boylesports
Draw: 23/10 at Totesport
Tottenham to win: 13/8 at Stan James

Everton will look to continue their good run of form in the Premier League, as they have not lost in their last six outings. They are one of the form teams in the league in that respect and after big successes in their last two home matches, scoring back to back wins over Manchester City and Chelsea, they will fancy their chances of frustrating a Tottenham side who are just a little bit bent out of shape at the moment. This will be Everton’s chance to make amends for a 2-0 defeat at White Hart Lane back in January, which was the last time that David Moyes side tasted defeat in the English top flight. There are things to look at in Everton’s form, when looking at Everton v Spurs betting, because Everton have only managed to score more than one goal just once in their last fourteen league games. So we don’t expect them to come out and put on a ferocious attacking display to tear Tottenham apart. It seems to be a big team effort from Everton in terms of goal scoring, as they aren’t that prolific going forward. But someone has been popping up with important goals. Just to put into context how tight matches are at Goodison Park, Everton average 1.07 goals scored at home this season, and they have conceded on average 1 goal per match this season. So Everton are a strongly organised side and look tough to break down at the moment. They haven’t not lost to Spurs at home in four matches now in the Premier League, so the Toffees must surely at least be targeting a draw out of this.

Tottenham head north looking for a pick me up after back to back defeats in the Premier League against Arsenal and Manchester United. Their league title credentials have rapidly fallen away, and now they look simply to be in the fight to secure third place in the league, and an automatic place in next season’s Champions League. But with their dip in form, a resurgent Arsenal are now hot on their heels, having closed the gap to four points. So Spurs don’t want to drop any more points at the moment. Boss Harry Redknapp has been changing from his regular formation, narrowing the side a little bit, but it means their creativity has been a bit stifled, and they have been exposed down the flanks. But Spurs do hold all the attacking cards in this match, and although they have lost Michael Dawson at the back for what may be the rest of the season, the Tottenham defence probably won’t come under as much pressure as it has in the past couple of weeks. Spurs have goals in them that goes without saying, but they need to tighten up at the back, and get back to their playing strengths. Spurs have enjoyed a decent record against Everton at Goodison Park in the Premier League, losing on just three of their nineteen trips there. Having fired off a 2-0 win over Everton this year, Tottenham should enjoy a lot of possession in this match and it is a good challenge for them, but a chance to restore some confidence in Everton v Tottenham betting.
