Festive season kickoff with two in-form sides

Following a challenging period, Tottenham have regained momentum under Ange Postecoglou’s guidance, aiming for a top-four push. With back-to-back victories and crucial players making their return from injury, the team’s prospects have significantly improved, reigniting a sense of optimism. In their last match against Nottingham Forest, they managed to win comfortably.

Yet, Tottenham faces a formidable Everton team currently in good form. Under Sean Dyche’s management, Everton has nullified their ten-point deficit by winning four consecutive games. This streak has bolstered their confidence as they head into Saturday’s match against Tottenham. Even though they lost their quarter-final against Fulham, they will be full of confidence ahead of this match.

Throughout this season, Son Heung-Min, Tottenham’s captain, has been an integral figure for the team.

His consistent knack for creating and capitalizing on opportunities poses a persistent threat to Everton’s defense. Son Heung-min has scored 10 goals and given 4 assists in 17 Premier League matches for Tottenham Hotspur.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin (Everton)

Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s performance in recent matches has been notably better compared to his start to the Premier League.

Injury & Team News

Brennan Johnson managed to steer clear of a concussion despite sustaining a head injury in the victory against his former team Nottingham Forest last week. Spurs continue to miss Micky van de Ven, James Maddison, and Rodrigo Bentancur for the long haul, while Giovani Lo Celso’s availability remains uncertain. Yves Bissouma, meanwhile, is suspended following his red card.

It appears likely that Everton will be missing Abdoulaye Doucoure as they prepare to face Tottenham in the upcoming Premier League fixture. Doucoure, a pivotal figure in Sean Dyche’s squad this season, has contributed six goals thus far in the campaign. Ashley Young and Andre Gomes are also doubtful for this match.

Match prediction for Tottenham vs Everton

Tottenham Hotspur and Everton boast strong teams in good form. While Spurs hold the home advantage, its significance might be diminished at this competitive level. The Toffees’ strength suggests they won’t easily falter in North London. But it is difficult to look past Spurs, who have found form again of late, even despite Everton’s good form.

Prediction: Tottenham 2-1 Everton
