Tottenham Hotspur are hoping to clinch a positive result against Everton
Tottenham Hotspur travel to the north of England to face Everton in their upcoming Premier League clash. Despite a series of inconsistent performances, the Lilywhites currently sit sixth in the table with 14 points, just two points behind the league’s top four. They have won four of their opening eight matches and are on track to end the campaign on a much better note than last season.
However, some fans remain unimpressed with the team’s overall style of play this season. The Lilywhites appear to be overly pragmatic in their approach, often allowing opponents to dominate key phases of the game. This cautious strategy has already backfired on Thomas Frank, with his side winning just once in their last four league outings.

Tottenham will hope to find their magic touch back as they take on Everton in the Premier League.
Recent performances against Aston Villa and AS Monaco have done little to ease the pressure, and the Danish manager must now ensure his team play with more aggression and confidence. With five matches coming up in the next two weeks, this run of fixtures could very well define Tottenham’s season.
Tottenham might have to dig deep against Everton in the Premier League
The clash against Everton is going to be anything but straightforward for Tottenham this weekend. A win against the Lilywhites would see the Toffees go equal on points with the North London club as they continue their surge for European football under David Moyes. With Frank aiming to enter the Premier League’s top-four before the November international break, it is necessary that his team comes back to N17 with a positive result.
Jermain Defoe has now predicted which way the game could go as both teams look to build on their positive start to the season. Speaking on Premier League productions’ Team Talk (via Everton News), Defoe said,
“Everton versus Spurs? Oh, a new stadium. Tough place to go. I think a draw. I think 1-1.”

The Spurs icon believes Everton will extend their unbeaten home run in the Premier League and clinch a draw against Tottenham. This seems like a fair prediction, given how good the Lilywhites have been on the road as well. Thomas Frank’s men have not lost a single away game this season as well, which makes a draw seem like the most likely outcome.
It is also worth noting that Everton have not lost any of their last six home meetings with Spurs in the Premier League. That record makes this weekend’s clash a tough challenge for the Lilywhites, who will need to be at their best to close the gap on their rivals. As for Thomas Frank, this fixture presents an opportunity to silence his critics, and a positive result at the brand-new Hill Dickinson Stadium could do just that.
