Everton, reeling from the narrow 0-1 loss they suffered at the hands of Aston Villa midweek, will put up a tough fight against Tottenham on Sunday. They’re known to defend well at home, but against the Spurs, they’ll have to stay on their vanguard. Their zonal marking system will be tested to its core against the visitors.
The re-appointment of David Moyes as Everton’s manager has generated mixed reviews from their supporters. But his credentials of leading West Ham United in the past will surely go his way. He likes to be fluid with the positioning of his players but knows that he has an uphill task ahead of him. The club are currently in 16th position with just 17 points.
Tottenham Hotspur know they have not done as well as they would have hoped to this season. They’re struggling in the 13th position of the league table with 24 points inside their kitty. The Spurs know that aiming for a berth in any European competition next season is out of the question, so they have to do everything in their power to prevent relegation.
Tottenham like to be free from the shackles of formation when they’re attacking while they fall back rather quickly in defence. This makes them quite a dangerous side on the counter-attack. At the same time, however, it makes them quite vulnerable to conceding goals whenever they lose their shape. Their players seldom have enough time to fall back and mark their opponents tightly. This is a flaw that Everton will want to exploit.
Bet hereNeither the hosts nor the guests appear to be the favourites to win this game. However, Tottenham have a slight advantage over their opponents, and we expect them to either win or draw this encounter. Their superior attacking lineup, featuring indefatigable Son, may be too much to handle for Everton.
The home team, however, know they can solidify their defence even further if they work on their positioning and marking skills. Their goalkeeper, Jordan Pickford, is among the best in his trade in the Premier League and will be keen on leaving a lasting mark. His marshalling of defence is often talked about by pundits across the globe.
Both teams boast splendid attacking units, and we expect them to get on the scoresheet this weekend. While Son is anticipated to lead the challenge for the visiting side, Ndiaye and Calvert-Lewin will be the players to watch out for in the Everton camp. The hosts also need to be wary of Maddison in Tottenham’s midfield.
Everton have only gotten on the scoresheet in three out of their last five encounters, while Tottenham Hotspur have done so in all of their previous five. Hence, it seems likely that both teams will score on Sunday. Three out of their last four matches have seen both slubs scoring.
