Toffees eye top-four spot as they play host to Spurs on Sunday
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-c10409 Moyes’ Everton will go head-to-head against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday in what promises to be an exhilarating Premier League match.
The Merseyside club will be high on confidence after collecting two points last week from difficult games against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 and Manchester City. However, the team have chalked out only 9 points from their last eight fixtures, and will be desperate to get back
to winning ways.
A win for Everton at the weekend will bring them level on points with Villas’ Boas men at 26. If other results go their way, they can also end up as high as third in the EPL’s pecking order.
Meanwhile, the London-based outfit will aim to continue with their winning momentum, having won all of their last three matches against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809, West Ham United and Fulham. After getting off to a shaky start, the visitors will now be looking to close the
gap at the top of the table on the Manchester clubs. However, in order for them to that, they will need to do something which no other team has managed thus far this campaign i.e. beat Everton at their own backyard.

Not too many changes are expected on the part of the home team, who are likely to stick with the same eleven who started against Manchester City last week.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Tony-Hibbert-c35447, while Leighton Baines and Sylvain Distin will retain their defensive duties.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Kevin-Mirallas-c20751 is another player who will remain truant due to injury.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Marouane-Fellaini-c24295 and Jelavic will take their positions in the final quarter, as Pienaar involves himself on the flanks.
Expected Starting line-up:
Phil Jagielka (Captain), http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nikica-Jelavic-c27906.
Tottenham Hotspur
Not being marred by any major injuries, Villas Boas will field his best eleven against a side who are strong contenders for a Champions League slot this term.
The manager could bring in the experienced http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jan-Vertonghen-c17814.
However, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Hugo-Lloris-c16408 is expected to guard the goal yet again, following his impressive display against Fulham.
Mousa Dembele will start ahead of Gylfi Sigurdsson. Nevertheless, the Icelandic International could come on as a second half substitute.
Adebayor could make a return in the team at the expense of Dempsey after having served out his three-match suspension. He will pair up with Defoe in the frontline.
Expected Starting line-up:
William Gallas (Captain), Hugo Lloris (Goalkeeper), Jan Vertonghen, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jermain-Defoe-c18359.
Prediction
Everton 3 : 2 Tottenham Hotspur
We might witness an action and goal packed fixture on Sunday. Fellaini will be the major threat for the visitors and is likely to get on the scoresheet yet again. On the other hand, the hosts will have to cope with the pace and sparking runs of Gareth Bale,
who will keep the Toffees defenders on their toes. Nonetheless, keeping in the view Everton’s sublime form at home, it is the writer’s guess that they will edge their opponents by the slightest of margins.
