The final match to be played in the English Premier League this weekend takes place on Monday night as Tottenham Hotspur entertain Everton.
The hosts begin the weekend in 9th place on 45 points and will want to move up the table to qualify for Europe. Everton are in 11th place on 44 points and they have the same aim as their opponents.
Tottenham Hotspur come into the match having suffered a disappointing 3-1 defeat at Sheffield United. Some of the defending by Spurs left a lot to be desired and they will be hoping for a major improvement in that department in this game. Following the resumption of the Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur have won only one of their 3 games and that came at home against West Ham United.
Trends show Tottenham Hotspur have been struggling to win games and they have picked up just a single victory in their last 9 matches in all competitions. There have been 6 defeats in those 9 games including two against RB Leipzig in the Champions League, two in the Premier League at Chelsea and at home against Wolverhampton Wanderers plus a penalty shootout defeat against Norwich City in the FA Cup.
In Tottenham's 3 most recent home matches in all competitions, there have been under 2.5 goals scored but both teams have scored in 6 of their last 8 games.
Everton recorded a good 2-1 home victory over Leicester City on Wednesday night as they continue their pursuit of Europa League football. The Toffees are undefeated since the end of lockdown, having won 2 and drawn one of their 3 Premier League games. In addition to the victory over Leicester City, Everton picked up a point in a 0-0 draw at home against Liverpool and beat Norwich City 1-0 away from home.
Away form shows Everton have won 2 of their last 6 away Premier League matches. In addition to the win at Norwich City, Everton defeated Watford 3-2 at Vicarage Road.
Trends show Everton have been difficult to beat in recent games and they have lost only 3 of their last 17 Premier League games. Both teams have scored in 10 of their last 13 away league matches and Everton have scored in all but one of their last 12 away games in the Premier League.
Looking ahead to the team news and Tottenham Hotspur are without defenders Japhet Tanganga and Juan Foyth. There could be several changes to the team that started the match at Sheffield United, especially in defence and attacking midfield.
Everton are still without Cenk Tosun and Jean-Philippe Gbamin due to injury. Richarlison is a doubt having come off with an injury against Leicester City and he joins Djibril Sidibe, Fabian Delph and Theo Walcott on the treatment table.
This has the makings of being a close game with under 2.5 goals. It would not be a surprise to see the points shared in a low scoring draw.
