Last Updated on April 15, 2021 10:07 pm by

This Friday’s duel at Goodison Park, will face the Everton team led by the great Carlo Ancelotti, while the visit, Tottenham will be led by the always controversial José Mourinho, both teams are living a very similar season, as when looking at the standings we see that Spurs occupy the seventh position with 49 units and the Toffees the eighth place with one unit less, 48.

Let’s review five key facts about the match:

1. Everton’s 1-0 first-leg win over Tottenham in the first leg of their Premier League draw ended a run of 15 games without beating Spurs (7D 8L). The Toffees have not beaten Tottenham twice in a season since 1985-86.
2. Spurs are unbeaten in seven away games against Everton (3W 4D) since losing at Goodison Park between January 2011 and December 2012.
3. In just the last four meetings between the two sides at Goodison Park in all competitions, 22 goals have been scored (8 Everton, 14 Spurs), with the Toffees winning 5-4 in the most recent meeting between the two in the FA Cup.
4. Everton have won just one of their last eight home games in the Premier League (2D 5L), and the Toffees have not scored more than one goal in any of those eight games (5 goals in total).
5. Everton have not won in any of their last four Premier League games (2D 2L), the last time this happened to the Toffees in the league was with Marco Silva as DT in 2018, with the fifth game of that run being against Spurs, a 2-6 defeat at Goodison Park.

Let’s review the current situation of both teams:

Everton: Carlo Ancelotti team is not living its best moment, as they accumulate 5 matches without winning, having three defeats and two draws, their last defeat was at home against the powerful leader, Manchester City with a score of two goals to zero, and their last two recent performances have ended in a draw, against Crystal Palace and Brighton respectively, hoping that in the match against Spurs James Rodríguez can bring out his best version and help them to win.

Tottenham: The current situation of the team coached by José Mourinho is not as expected, since Spurs is out of international competitions, and they were recently eliminated from the UEFA Europa League, in the round of 16 by Dinamo Zagreb, coming back from a draw that seemed to be decided. In the last three matches, they have had an irregular performance, with a win, a draw and a defeat, the last one was last weekend against Manchester United with a score of 3 goals to 1, the Tottenham goal was scored by Heung-Min Son in his return. Now they hope to be able to get up and that figures like Gareth Bale and Harry Kane will bring out all their offensive power to win against Everton.
