Everton is set to host Tottenham Hotspur in a much-awaited Premier League clash on Tuesday, April 4th, 2023, at 2:00 PM (24-hour format). Both teams have seen their fair share of turmoil off the pitch in the last two weeks, with their league standing consistently haunting their on-field performance.
Everton has recently been levied with serious allegations of violating the Financial Fair Play regulations, which have resulted in an investigation by the Premier League authorities. However, The Toffees have denied the allegations, claiming that they’ve always worked within the set guidelines. It remains unclear whether these allegations will affect their progress in the season.
At present, the home team is positioned at the 17th place in the league table, earning 26 points from 28 games, with six wins, eight draws, and 14 defeats. Their recent form includes just one win in their last five games and two consecutive losses, including a defeat to Arsenal.
On the other hand, Tottenham Hotspur, who currently sit at the fourth spot in the league table with 49 points, have had a less-than-favorable week in the Premier League. Their recent run includes 15 wins, four draws, and nine losses in 28 games so far.
The starting line-up seems uncertain for both teams as Everton will miss the likes of Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Richarlison, whereas Demarai Gray is expected to return to training ahead of Tuesday’s game. Meanwhile, Tottenham Hotspur will also have to manage without Ryan Sessegnon and might miss the services of Ivan Perisic, who is currently recovering from a calf injury.
In terms of their head-to-head record, in their last six Premier League encounters, Everton has won twice, drawn twice, and lost twice against Tottenham Hotspur.
As both teams look to secure a valuable win and climb up the league table, the match is expected to end in a 2-1 victory for Tottenham Hotspur. Nonetheless, the result of the game is highly unpredictable, and one can only wait and watch as these two teams go head-to-head for yet another exciting fixture in the Premier League 2022-2023 season.
