- Tottenham Hotspur are 6th in the Premier League (14 points from 8 matches) and unbeaten away from home (3 wins, 1 draw).

Spurs can outgun Everton in tight matchup
Everton and Tottenham are difficult to separate in the head-to-head record, but our Everton vs Tottenham prediction suggests Spurs will have a real go against their old club on Sunday when former Blue Richarlison is expected to lead the line. Everton won the sides' last Premier League meeting 3-2 at home in a cracking game 9 months ago.
Spurs have won two, drawn two and lost one of their previous five meetings with Everton and may not win at Goodison this time because they haven’t won on their last three visits. However, Ange Postecoglou’s side has moved on and Thomas Frank has already added his own touch to the squad since taking over as manager in June 2025.
Frank’s structured pressing game and rotational build-up play should see off an Everton side that are a little inconsistent in their approach to the opponent. Moyes’ men, who have won one, drawn one and lost three of their last five games in all competitions, prefer to play in a pragmatic 4-2-3-1 system that is compact at the back. For more insights, check our Everton vs Tottenham preview which details both teams’ tactical setups.
Grealish’s vision can unlock Tottenham
Moyes likes his wide players to cut in from the byline and allow the full-backs to overlap, which can cause confusion for the opposition. When they have the ball, Everton are often compact with their wide midfielders tucking in alongside the two central midfielders and the remaining two attacking midfielders playing off a lone striker.
Jack Grealish is the creative fulcrum to Everton’s attacking play, laying on four league assists already in just seven appearances, but it is Iliman Ndiaye’s three Premier League goals from eight games that keep the opposing defence on their toes.
This Everton vs Tottenham prediction also takes into account that Tottenham will be much more advanced in their pressing style, which will be a chess match against Everton’s selective pressing. Frank’s tactical flexibility - sometimes 3-5-2, sometimes 4-3-3 - and emphasis on coordinated pressing and vertical transitions remind many of his former work at Brentford.
Draw or home win could be likely
Richarlison has the class and guile to make a statement against his old club by scoring a couple of goals here, but Everton are a tough nut to crack at their own place and should find enough to get something from this match. Everton average 1.25 goals per game at their place while conceding just 0.50 in the Premier League this season so there is plenty of steel around the Blues’ citadel.
Given the attacking threat from both teams and their recent form, our Everton vs Tottenham betting tips suggest backing both teams to score. Spurs average 2.25 per away game in the top flight, netting nine in their four Premier League road trips this term, so we’re going to support both teams to score at around the same odds as the game’s moneyline. Tottenham are 3.08 to win while Everton are 2.48, so it is an even game on paper but the Everton vs Tottenham prediction leans towards the home side to eke out a draw or a narrow win.
