Prediction
Tottenham 2, Everton 1
Money line (ML)
“LEAN” to TOTTENHAM (+125) as Everton will be without one of its best players in Calvert-Lewin, a 24-year-old English forward who has provided great strength up top.
Tottenham should be able to control the middle and push with pace. It is too talented not to. With F Son Heung-min also expected to play, the Hotspurs should be able to get on the board multiple times.
After following out of the top seven with its loss to Man U, Tottenham needs to bounce back on the road. Against a defense that has been slacking most of the season, Tottenham should be able to get multiple on the board.
Being Kane and Heung-Min and with Everton short Calvert-Lewin, Tottenham should find a way to win.
Over/Under (O/U)
BET on the OVER 2.5 (+115) as the better side here. Both teams give up too many goals. Having each conceded 16 on the season, the Tottenham offense is clearly the one lacking, but the star power is there.
Its two stars combined for 40 last season as Tottenham finished averaging over 1.5 points per game. It is not quite at the same level despite having a relatively similar roster.
With Everton having depth and a more proven scoring attack that should be led by Gray and F Andros Townsend, who are tied with Calvert-Lewin with a team-high 3 goals.
It is down a key piece, but it should have enough talent to get on the board. Everton scored in four of its last five games.
