The Premier League relegation battle comes down to the final day as Tottenham host Everton, knowing even a point will secure their top-flight status for next season.All Tottenham Hotspur needed was one point against a Chelsea side who had arrived on the back of a seven-match winless run to secure safety, but instead they somehow fell to a 2-1 defeat.Despite the result, Roberto De Zerbi’s men were the better side for large parts of the game, dominating possession, xG, and chances created. Ultimately, a failure to convert those opportunities, combined with individual errors and harsh refereeing decisions, proved decisive once again.There has still been some turnaround and injection of confidence since De Zerbi’s arrival, given that the Chelsea defeat is their only loss in their previous five matches. Spurs stand two points clear of their London rivals West Ham United in 18th, knowing even a point here would secure their Premier League status for next season thanks to their superior goal difference.Everton, on the other hand, know European spots are still at stake as they sit 12th in a really congested middle half of the Premier League table, and are also well aware that a win here could get them a spot in next season’s UEFA Conference League. That is, of course, conditional upon Brentford, Sunderland, Newcastle United and Fulham all dropping points.The Toffees enter North London low on confidence after worsening those European chances with a 3-1 defeat to Sunderland, which extended their winless run in the Premier League to six matches.Photo by SpursWebWhat time does Tottenham vs Everton kick off?Location: London, EnglandStadium: Tottenham Hotspur StadiumDate: Tuesday, 24 May 2026Kick-off Time: 4 pm BSTReferee: Michael OliverVAR: Paul TierneyTottenham vs Everton: Head-to-head recordTottenham will certainly take confidence from the reverse fixture earlier this season, when they became the first side to beat Everton at the new Hill Dickinson Stadium, securing a dominant 3-0 victory.Now, Tottenham have the chance to complete their first league double over Everton since the 2017/18 season.History also strongly favours Spurs heading into this clash. Everton have won just one of their previous 16 visits to Tottenham and, remarkably, have scored only once across their last four trips to North London.Tottenham team newsRoberto De Zerbi confirmed ahead of the game that Dominic Solanke is fit enough to start, although the Spurs boss admitted he is still unsure whether the striker will actually start.Cristian Romero will miss Tottenham’s final game of the season, and it is fair to say the Argentine is not exactly the most popular figure among sections of the Spurs fanbase right now, following his recent decision not to remain with the squad.Also unavailable for Tottenham are Xavi Simons, Dejan Kulusevski, Mohammed Kudus and Wilson Odobert.Everton team newsEverton will make the trip to North London without loanee Jack Grealish as well as first-choice centre-back Jarrad Branthwaite.There could be a boost for the visitors in midfield, however, with Idrissa Gueye potentially returning after missing the Sunderland defeat through an undisclosed issue.Predicted line-upsTOTTENHAM: Kinsky; Porro, Danso, Van de Ven, Udogie; Bentancur, Gallagher, Maddison; Bergvall, Tel, RicharlisonEVERTON: Pickford; O’Brien, Tarkowski, Keane, Mykolenko; Garner, Dewsbury-Hall, McNeil; Rohl, Ndiaye, BetoOur predictionKeep an eye on James Maddison, whom we have backed to make his first competitive start for Spurs in over a year, although De Zerbi still has a real dilemma here.Everton have a very physical midfield and De Zerbi could risk starting Maddison, who would definitely create scoring chances better than anyone else in the squad, as seen by his two recent brief cameos against Leeds United and Chelsea.Or the Spurs boss could instead introduce him later in the game when that physical Everton midfield begins to tire. Either way, it is difficult to see the English midfielder playing the full 90 minutes.For Everton, the main threat will undoubtedly come from Iliman Ndiaye, who will need strong marking and absolutely no space to attack on the counter.That said, there are nine possible combinations of outcomes regarding this fixture and West Ham’s game against Leeds United, and only one of them sends Tottenham down.That is Spurs losing and West Ham winning their fixture, which is also the outcome Everton boss David Moyes admitted he would love to see as he hopes to do his former club a favour. Spurs supporters, meanwhile, will simply be hoping Murphy’s Law does not strike once again.Predicted score: Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 EvertonUp the Spurs!READ MORE: Tottenham’s history against Everton gives them reason for optimism before final-day clashThe post Tottenham vs Everton Premier League preview: Team news and predicted lineups appeared first on Spurs Web.
