Tottenham Hotspur v Everton

Everton travel to Spurs on Monday evening aiming to maintain a late charge for Europa League qualification.

The Opposition

Jose Mourinho’s men have won only one of their last nine matches in all competitions and come into this one on the back of a 3-1 home defeat to Sheffield United on Thursday. Sander Berge, Lys Mousset and Oli McBurnie fired Sheffield United to victory, as Spurs were left fuming after a VAR call denied Harry Kane an equaliser.

Head-To-Head

Look away now.

Everton haven’t beaten Spurs since December 2012, when David Moyes’ side completed an amazing last gasp comeback to pick up three points at Goodison Park.

The sides played out a 1-1 draw in the reverse fixture in November, a 97th minute Cenk Tosun equaliser gave Everton a deserved point.

There have been 178 meetings between Everton and Tottenham in all competitions since 1904 – 55 Everton wins, 56 draws, and 67 Tottenham wins.
