Everton Form & Team News

Everton are the eighth-placed team in Premier League at the moment. They have 14 wins from 30 matches so far. This also includes ten losses and six draws. They have secured a total of 48 points in the process. Their home record is quite disappointing for a top ten team. They have lost seven from the 15 played which underlines the former statement, They have not won a single game in the last five matches. Their last Premier League win was against West Bromwich over a month ago playing away. They really have to step up their game and there is no better game to do it other than the Tottenham game on Saturday to keep their top-four dreams alive, given nothing less than a win would help their cause. 

Joshua King, Calvert-Lewin, Yerry Mina, Jean-Phillipe, Tyler Onyango, Allan, Andre Gomez, Barnard, Doucoure, and Fabien Delph complete the full-squad injury list of Everton going into the next game. Ancelotti has his hands full with a number of injuries. Top scorer Calvert-Lewin with 14 goals missing out is a huge blow but the likes of James Rodriguez and Ricahlison have the potential to fill up space and score some goals. Lucas Digne has been the provider in chief for Everton this season with six assists to his name. The players should shrug off the injury cloud over the team and just focus on doing better on the field on any given day. 

Tottenham Form & Team News

So near yet So Far, it’s not a rhyme, that’s been Tottenhams’ season so far. Jose Mourinho’s men have had a topsy-turvy path in the 31 games they have played so far. They have played seventh in the points table with as many as 14 wins to their name. They have lost 10 games too in the process. Tottenham have scored a good number of goals but also have leaked quite a few in crunch moments thus resulting in so many draws and losses. In the lead up to the next game against Everton on Saturday, Tottenham have lost their last game against Man United at home. They also drew against Newcastle after securing the lead. Tottenham Hotspurs with the sort of team they have are expected to finish in the top four every time they step out to the field. This added pressure is telling on them. 

Matt Doherty and Benn Davies are the two injured players in the Spurs lineup. The Legendary Jose Mourinho needs to restrategize the setup before going into the next game. England captain Harry Kane and South Korean Heung Min Son have made a combined goal contribution of 55 this season alone. This includes 19 goals and 13 assists from Kane and 14 goals and nine assists from Son. The two of the above are doing all the hard work with little to no help from the defense who keep leaking goals.
