Everton vs Tottenham Hotspur: Predictions, Betting odds, Lineups, Preview

Everton's recent results show a mix of resilience and vulnerability. They've managed to hold their own at home, drawing with West Ham and beating Crystal Palace. But losses to Manchester City and Liverpool highlight their struggles against top teams.

If they can channel that home form and keep it tight at the back, they stand a good chance against Tottenham.

• Loss: 1-2 vs Liverpool (A)

• Draw: 0-0 vs Aston Villa (H)

Tottenham's form has been up and down lately. They've shown they can score goals, like in their win over West Ham, but their home loss to Aston Villa is a concern. Their away form, with draws against Brighton and Wolves, suggests they might struggle at the Hill Dickinson Stadium. If they can get their attacking players firing, they could still come away with a win.

• Predicted lineup: Pickford (GK), O'Brien (DF), Keane (DF), Tarkowski (DF), Mykolenko (DF), Gueye (MF), Garner (MF), Grealish (MF), Dewsbury-Hall (MF), Ndiaye (MF), Beto (AT)

Everton's predicted lineup suggests a focus on midfield control with Gueye and Garner, aiming to disrupt Tottenham's play. Beto up front will be key to their attacking threat, looking to exploit any defensive lapses.

• Predicted lineup: Vicario (GK), Porro (DF), Danso (DF), Spence (DF), Van de Ven (DF), Palhinha (MF), Bentancur (MF), Kudus (MF), Simons (MF), Odobert (MF), Tel (AT)

Tottenham's lineup indicates a reliance on the creativity of Simons and Kudus in midfield to unlock Everton's defence. The absence of an in-form striker might force them to rely on their wingers and midfielders to provide the goals.

• Beto vs Van de Ven: This will be a crucial battle between Everton's physical striker and Tottenham's highly-rated defender.

• Gueye vs Palhinha: A midfield duel to watch, with Gueye's tenacity up against Palhinha's composure.

• Garner (Everton): Garner's energy and work rate in midfield will be vital for Everton's chances.

• Simons (Tottenham Hotspur): Simons' creativity and flair in midfield could be the key to unlocking Everton's defence.
