Stats that paint an encouraging picture for Tottenham ahead of the relegation-decider clash against Tottenham.
The numbers ahead of Sunday’s final day showdown between Tottenham and Everton, as reported by Chris Cowlin, paint a picture that is encouraging for the hosts without providing the comfort of certainty.
The most immediately relevant historical fact is Everton’s away record against Spurs. The Toffees have won just one of their last 16 Premier League visits to north London, losing the last four by an extraordinary aggregate score of 13-1. David Moyes may have stated his desire to help West Ham stay up, but his side’s recent record at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is not the foundation on which that ambition is built.
Everton’s broader form also works in Tottenham’s favour. They are winless in six consecutive Premier League games, and while Moyes has shown he can turn around poor runs, doing so against a Spurs side that has won three of their last five matches under De Zerbi will be a significant challenge.
Tottenham Hotspur’s home form should worry fans ahead of Everton game
The concern in the statistics for Tottenham relates to their own home form. Spurs are winless in their last ten home league games, their second-longest such run in league history after a 14-game streak between October 1993 and April 1994. Sunday represents the opportunity to end that sequence at the most important possible moment.

There is also a historical context to the finish position itself. Having also ended last season in 17th, avoiding relegation on Sunday would still mean Tottenham finishing as low in consecutive top-flight campaigns for the first time since a run between 1912-13 and 1914-15. A sobering measure of how far this club has fallen from its recent standards.
One final detail worth noting. This is the tenth time Everton have played their final Premier League match of the season away to a London club. They have won just one of the previous nine. History, at least, is firmly on Tottenham’s side.
