Tottenham’s history against Everton gives them reason for optimism before final-day clash

Wait 5 sec.

Tottenham Hotspur head into the biggest game of their season knowing there is no margin for error, but their recent record against Everton could at least offer supporters a little encouragement ahead of Sunday’s showdown.The battle for Premier League survival has now gone down to the wire after both West Ham United and Tottenham Hotspur suffered defeats in their respective penultimate games of the season.For West Ham, it was a 3-1 loss against Newcastle United at St James’ Park, while Spurs, playing two days after the Hammers, fell to a 2-1 defeat against Chelsea despite needing just a single point to ensure their Premier League status ahead of next season.That latest run of results now leaves a lot riding on Sunday’s fixtures. For Tottenham, it is a clash against Everton, who sit 12th in the table and have little but pride to play for.The Lilywhites, on the other hand, have everything to lose heading into the final gameweek of the season.Should Roberto De Zerbi’s men suffer defeat and West Ham beat Leeds United in their own game, Spurs will be relegated to the Championship. A draw or win, meanwhile, will guarantee Tottenham’s safety.Photo by SpursWebTottenham vs Everton head-to-head record offers Spurs encouragementA closer look at the head-to-head record between Tottenham and Everton does provide some encouragement for the Lilywhites heading into this clash.The two sides have met 67 times in the Premier League, and it is Spurs who have emerged victorious in most of those meetings.

Of course, if they can manage another draw, that alone will be enough.Looking at their last five meetings against Everton in north London, Tottenham supporters might feel far more confident about their chances of securing a victory.In the previous five home meetings against the Toffees, Spurs have won four, scoring 13 goals and conceding just two. Another draw or win, and Tottenham will be in the Premier League next season.SeasonResult2025-26Tottenham vs Everton – To be played2024-25Tottenham 4-0 Everton2023-24Tottenham 2-1 Everton2022-23Tottenham 2-0 Everton2021-22Tottenham 5-0 Everton2020-21Tottenham 0-1 EvertonREAD MORE: Jamie Carragher accuses two Tottenham Hotspur players of regularly ‘cheating’The post Tottenham’s history against Everton gives them reason for optimism before final-day clash appeared first on Spurs Web.
