The Toffees are without a win in six matches.
We have a mouthwatering Premier League clash coming up on Sunday in round 22 of the Premier League action. David Moyes, appointed to turn Everton’s fortunes is set to welcome Tottenham Hotspur at Goodison Park.
Everton are coming into this tie on the back of a narrow 1-0 loss against Aston Villa. It was David Moyes’s first game in charge of his homecoming as he witnessed his side waste some clear-cut chances to register a point. There is plenty of encouragement for him with the way his side performed in the last match. Currently languishing in 16th spot, he has a huge task going as his side are without a win in six matches.
Tottenham Hotspur on the other hand are struggling at the moment with injuries playing a part. Ange Postecoglou who has been unlucky this season will be desperate. It has been back-to-back defeats in the Premier League for them which has seen them drop to 13th in the table. However, they have done well in cup competitions as they have a first-leg lead in the EFL Cup and also got past Tamworth in round three of the FA Cup.

Players to Watch
Jordan Pickford (Everton)
Jordan Pickford has been an unsung hero for Toffees this season consistently making important saves to keep them in games. The Everton legend has seven clean sheets to his name already while also making two penalty saves. Not only Pickford is good at making saves, but he is equally good with his distribution to help the team make attacks.
Son Heung-min (Tottenham Hotspur)
Son Heung-min has been a treat to watch recently despite not being on the score sheet regularly. His last two matches for Lilywhites have seen him provide an assist against Tamworth and a goal against Arsenal in the last match. This season he has already registered 12 G/A contributions from 18 matches having registered six goals and six assists.
