Tottenham vs Everton: Head-to-head record in last ten meetings
Spurs need Premier League points more urgently than ever as they take on the Toffees this weekend. Let’s take a look at Tottenham’s record against Everton over their last ten meetings.
Tottenham have not won away at Everton in the last 6 years
Tottenham are making their last-ever trip to Goodison Park before Everton move into their new stadium next season. With Spurs needing points on the board to improve their standing in the Premier League table, they will need to break historic trends to seal a win.
Everton are the team Tottenham have drawn with more than any other side in history. You would not necessarily think this when looking at the games that took place at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium or White Hart Lane. Spurs have a strong home record against Everton where they not only win but often win by a comfortable margin.
However, the last time Tottenham won at Goodison was 2018.
The last ten fixtures between the two sides indicate that Spurs often win at home, but nearly always draw away. With Tottenham being in a situation where one point is not enough, they will have to work to break such a long-standing trend.
Tottenham record vs Everton:
Wins: 4
Draws: 4
Losses: 2
Goals for: 22
Goals against: 12
Everton games have epitomised some of Postecoglou’s football
The three games that Ange Postecoglou has managed against Everton have shown some of the main strengths and weaknesses of his Spurs team.
During the first fixture in December 2023, Tottenham stormed to an early 2-0 lead within the opening 20 minutes. Andre Gomes pulled a goal back in the 84th minute, but Spurs’ early work was enough to see them out. The intensity with which Spurs started the game became more than Everton could handle.
Back at Goodison, Everton were better prepared. Nevertheless, Richarlison still scored 4 minutes in. Everton matched Tottenham’s intensity throughout the game, initially bringing the scoreline back to 1-1, but still going into halftime 2-1 down after another Richarlison goal. Everton took advantage of last season’s frailty at set pieces to score an equaliser in extra time.
The home match earlier this season showed that to play against Tottenham you must either be extremely compact or match Tottenham’s intensity. Everton did neither and were comfortably beaten 4-0. It proved to be the perfect example of how Postecoglou’s team will punish you if given the opportunity.
Richarlison could improve his standing in this fixture
Three of the four goals Tottenham scored against Everton last season were scored by Richarlison. In addition to his time at Everton, Richarlison has scored 5 goals in Spurs versus Everton fixtures.
While Dominic Solanke is likely to start ahead of him, two more goals in this fixture would have Richarlison tied for a heavily contested 3rd most goals in this fixture. He would be alongside the likes of Heung-min Son and Robbie Keane on 7 goals. While matching Harry Kane’s total of 16 feels like a record he is unlikely to achieve, there is still a chance for Richarlison to write himself into a standout position in the history of this tie.
