Spurs to beat "The Borrowers"

For the third game running, we play Everton in a 1.30pm Sunday kick-off. At Goodison Park in November we drew 0-0, which was the only goal-less game that Spurs have played so far this season.

Last season's home game, played in April, also ended in a draw, finishing 2-2. Emmanuel Adebayor scored after only 35 seconds, and was voted Spurs' man of the match, but Spurs went 2-1 down and relied upon a late equaliser by Gylfi Sigurdsson to get a share of the points. That was one day when Spurs were missing Gareth Bale last season. Aaron Lennon was also missing.

Bearing in mind that we lost at Goodison Park in December 2012 and also in March 2012, you have to go back five matches and January 2012 for a Spurs win in this fixture.

Such information comes as a surprise, bearing in mind that we have taken more Premier League points off Everton than we have against any other Premier League team. That is partly because we are both one of the seven ever-present members of the Premier League, but it is also because for most of that time, Spurs must have been held by "The Toffees" as a bogey team.

The tables shave been turned in recent years though, with Spurs managing only two wins in the last 13 Premier League meetings. As you can see in the table above, we have garnered 73 points in 43 premier League meetings. Spurs lie fifth in the all-time Premier League table, and Everton are seventh, behind even Aston Villa, whose form in recent years has been so poor.

We have to go back to May 2009 to find the last occasion that the two sides have met, with Everton in the higher position in the league table. Going into that game, Everton were sixth, and Spurs were in tenth place. This was Harry Redknapp's first season, in which we climbed from the bottom three almost to a European qualification place. That match also finished 0-0 (at Goodison Park). Everton finished fifth and Spurs finished eighth.

Roberto Martinez's Everton are one of three teams which have lost only three games all season. The others are Arsenal and Chelsea, neither of whom were victors over Everton. The "Toffees" only lost their third game recently at Anfield, and lost by the biggest margin for over 30 years in a Mersey Derby - 4-0.

Everton have begun to suffer with injuries to key players recently, and it will be interesting to see how they manage in the absence of Romelu Lukaku, on loan from Chelsea, who is Everton's top scorer so far with 9 goals. Lukaku went off with an injury he sustained at the corner when Steve Gerrard put Liverpool 1-0 up in that Derby match. He suffered an ankle injury expected to keep him out for a few games yet.

Lukaku is one of no less than three loan players who have been key to Everton's success so far this season. Hence my "Borrowers" tag. The other two have been Gareth Barry (from Man City) and 19 year old Barcelona starlet Gerard Deulofeu. In fairness, Deulofeu has rarely been a 90 minute man for Everton, but he has made significant contributions, one being a late equalizing goal at The Emirates in December.

Everton have also had significant injuries to Seamus Coleman, who has scored 5 league goals from the right back position, and now a horrible broken leg to substitute full-back Oviedo, who sustained his horric injury at Stevenage in the FA Cup.

Martinez clearly had sufficient confidence in his squad to allow the sale of Jelavic to Hull in the January window. Jelavic was impressive against us last week.

We all know that Spurs have had more than their fair share of significant injuries, and it was good to see both Vertonghen and Paulinho playing last Saturday at The KC Stadium. Younes Kaboul was on the bench, but I suspect he will not displace club captain Michael Dawson. I would hope to see Dembele, Townsend and Sandro in the frame for a return on Sunday, but Erik Lamela (mysteriously absent in the eyes of some Spurs fans) won't be back for a week yet.

A home win over Everton will be crucial in our continuing quest for some form of European football qualification. I fear that neither team are going to break into the current top four, but I do predict that Spurs will beat "The Borrowers" from Goodison Park 2-0 this Sunday!

Sunday's referee will be Mark Clattenburg, who has already been in charge of us in 4 games this season. This will be his first home game in charge of Spurs this season. We've done alright with Mr Clattenburg in the middle, winning 7 of the last 8 games in which he has officiated. The last game (at Arsenal in the FA Cup) was the only blemish in that sequence.
