In Saturday’s early Premier League game, Everton hosts Tottenham at Goodison Park in a potentially vital match at both ends of the English top-flight table.
The midweek results saw the Toffees drop into the relegation zone. Sean Dyche’s team drew 0-0 at Fulham, while rivals Luton Town recorded a 4-0 home win over Brighton.

However, they are only in the relegation zone by a point, and things could turn around very quickly for the men from Merseyside.
Although Everton are winless in their last five top-flight games, they have kept back-to-back clean sheets in the league.
In fact, Toffees goalkeeper Jordan Pickford has kept the most clean sheets in the Premier League this season.
Everton’s recent home form has been poor in the English top flight, as they have won just two of their last seven Premier League games at Goodison Park.
However, they have kept three clean sheets on home soil in three of their last four league games.
A 3-2 home win over Brentford last time out made it three games unbeaten in the Premier League for the team from north London.
The victory also moved Ange Postecoglou’s team back into the Champions League berths. However, they are only above fifth-place Aston Villa courtesy of a superior goal difference.
The visitors have been free-scoring in recent months in the Premier League, as they have scored at least two goals in their last seven outings in the English top flight.
One facet of Spurs' game that has been poor in recent weeks has been their away form, as the visitors have won just one of their last five away games in the Premier League.
Forebet predicts that Tottenham will record a comfortable victory in a high-scoring encounter.
