Everton vs Tottenham prediction: Son Heung-min masterclass needed to maintain top four fight

Tottenham Hotspur's top four fight could be defined in the next couple of days.

Spurs are the favourites for their trip at4/6 while hosts Everton are 12/5 - the same as a draw.

Spurs threw away more points from a winning position against Manchester United last week at Old Trafford and with their confidence dented, travel to Goodison Park.

Everton have already beaten Spurs twice this season so Carlo Ancelotti seems to have a tactical advantage over Jose Mourinho.

However, the Everton boss still has to deal with injury crisis which is slowly getting better but nowhere near as good as he had in the build-up to his last two matches against Spurs.

Tips

  • Harry Kane to score anytime - Evens
  • Son Heung-min to score anytime - 6/4
  • Both teams to score - 4/6

Everton have an injury crisis while Tottenham have a defensive crisis - which their new paint sponsor wanted to remind everyone yesterday in a bizarre social media moment.

There will be plenty of gaps in their defensive approach which the attackers will appreciate so expect no one to come home with a clean sheet and both teams to score at 4/6.

Which goes perfectly to my next tip - Tottenham's attacking duo.

Harry Kane has scored five goals on his last three visits to Everton so he clearly loves a game at Goodison Park and will be looking to increase that lead. He's in form and will want to continue that going into the Euros. He's evens to score anytime.

I am also backing Son Heung-min to get on the scoresheet too. The South Korean winger broke a seven league game goal drought at the weekend against Manchester United and will want to get his 15th league goal of this season soon. He's 6/4 to score anytime.
