Tottenham and Everton face each other in a direct clash for the 5th place in the Premier League, which entitles participation in the Europa League. After their last round draw, the hosts are now 1 point behind the "Toffees", but now they stand a good chance, in front of own audience, to regain the 5th position in the standings.
The "spurs" should have a more reasonable approach for this meeting, having already suffered three huge defeats at home with 1:5, 0:5, 0:3, respectively by Manchester City, Liverpool and West Ham. А home loss of course, is unacceptable at the White Hart Lane, as one of them even cost the manager position of Villa Boas. However, Tottenham is performing traditionally well in their home games against Everton. This, together with the guest`s long list of injured players, put Tottenham as favorite to win this match.
Everton in turn, play at extremely high level this season. In the last round, however, the team faced serious difficulties against Aston Villa at home, caused mainly by the lack of a lot of key players. Lukaku will miss this meeting and it is the center forward, where Roberto Martinez has no adequate alternatives. The "Toffees" have not won any of their last 3 away matches and it seems that the point here would be considered a success for them.
