TEAMS PREVIEW

Everton FC Preview

The Toffees endured a disappointing outing against Manchester City in matchweek eight, falling 2-0 — a result that wasn’t entirely surprising given the absence of their talisman, Jack Grealish. His creativity was sorely missed as Everton managed just one shot on target all game. The defeat saw them drop four spots in the table, but with only three points separating them from Spurs, Sunday’s clash offers a perfect chance to bounce back.

Stats that matter 

1. Jack Grealish is the Everton player with the most number of goal involvements ( 4 assists and 1 goal).
2. Everton have remained unbeaten (2W 2D) at home in the league this season and remained unbeaten in the last 7 home matches across all competitions.
3. The Toffees have managed to win just once in their last six matches across all competitions. 

Team News 

Jack Grealish is set to return straight to the starting XI, while Merlin Rohl, who featured for 20 minutes against Man City, is also fit to start if needed. However, Everton have been dealt a blow as Jarrad Branthwaite faces surgery on a hamstring injury, ruling him out for an extended spell.

Everton Probable XI - Pickford (GK); O’Brien, Tarkowski, Keane, Mykolenko (Defenders); Idrissa Gueye, Dewsbury Hall, Garner (Midfielders) ; Ndiaye, Beto, Grealish (Forwards)

Tottenham Hotspur FC Preview

Tottenham suffered their first defeat in four league games, losing 2-1 to Aston Villa — their second home loss of the season. Thomas Frank’s men may feel hard done by, with Villa scoring twice from distance despite an xG of just 0.37. 

Still, a clear issue has emerged: against deep-sitting sides, the Palhinha-Bentancur midfield has lacked creativity. With Everton likely to adopt a similar approach, Sunday’s clash will be another test of Spurs’ ability to break teams down.

Stats that matter 

1. Since the start of the last season, no side has lost more Premier League matches when scoring first than Spurs (8).
2. The Spurs have recorded the most points on the road this season in the league ( 10- W3 D1).
3. João Palhinha has been a midfield powerhouse this season, leading the league with 35 tackles. His 10 challenges against Villa were the most by any player in a single game in 2025–26.

Team News 

Cristian Romero is in a race to be fit after pulling up during warm-ups before the Villa game, while Destiny Udogie remains doubtful with a knee injury from international duty. Odobert is also a concern after feeling discomfort against Monaco, but the return of full-back Djed Spence offers Spurs a timely boost.

Tottenham Hotspur Probable XI - Vicario (GK): Pedro Porro, Cristian Romero/Danso, Van de Ven, Udogie/Spence (Defenders); Bentacur, Xavi Simons, Palhinha ( Midfielders); Kudus, Johnson, Richarlison (Forwards).

EVERTON FC vs TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR FC
Winning Prediction

Everton may hold a slight edge heading into this clash, with Spurs’ key players having featured heavily in their midweek tie against Monaco — fatigue could be a factor. The Toffees are unbeaten at home this season and recently handed Palace their first defeat. While history leans Spurs’ way, they haven’t beaten Everton in their last three away visits, making a draw a real possibility here.

We predict a draw (0-0)
