I fancy a 2-0 win for Everton . No particular reason, but I find these predictions of a "bumming" are getting tiresome. Get stuck in boys, and don't let Harry the Kane hit a toe poke at goal from 30 yards because you know it will hit the back of the net!

I think Spurs will be in high spirits for this game after beating Arsenal in midweek. However, they are coming off a hard run of games. Plus they have the Xmas fixture list to navigate. I think they'll need to rotate heavily over the next few games so we may not even face their 1st choice XI. If we do then they'll be tired.

Think it's needs to be a fast paced game. Get at them and don't let their weary limbs settle.

Get a win here and I think it sets up the Xmas period where there are 3 winnable games. Even 9-10 points over the Xmas period will make a massive difference and I think may be the start of a gap opening up between 6th to 8th (us, Man United & Bournemouth) and the rest.

I think we can win this one but if I was putting on a bet I'd go for a score draw. Maybe 2-2.

...we’ve struggled to break down teams who come to Goodison and defend in numbers but we’ve performed reasonably well against the better teams away. It’ll be interesting how this game pans out. I can see Spurs scoring, it’s just whether we can take our chances at the other end.

I fear we’ll need 2 goals to get anything from the game.

Gomes and Richarlison sick but should be fine.
Mccarthy is ready for games.
Gana OK.

 

[DrEFC]

We will get smashed off the park.

Which in theory should be the least likely result with us creating chances and scoring all home league games since since early jan bar one game in april [Liverpool],and spurs scoring every away game since nov 2017 bar one game in may,though it does happen the odd few times between us

 

[Diogenes the Cynic]

I've always liked playing Spurs, they play footy and always give you a chance to play if you're good enough.

But the Spurs of recent times have a bit of steel and resilience to add to the easy on the eye stuff.

Classy side, would love us to be able to build something similar.

I am not confident.

I am still suffering from the post derby depression.

 

[AUXLEN]

I feel a 1-1 or a close 1-2. unless we get lucky like Watford and get a 2-2. my heart wants a 3-0.

 

[deipnosophist]

I predict we'll have 24 points at Christmas Day...

i.e. I think we'll put on a decent display vs Spurs, but won't get any points

 

[brigadier]

Think it will come down to the forward lines Richarlson, Walcott v kane, son, I know who my money's on.

[Darth Toffeeman]

This is a huge game, for those occupying the shirts.

With January a week or so away and the forwards misfiring week after week, they simply have to step up or inevitably ship out.

We couldn't beat Huddersfield, Watford, Newcastle or West Ham at home yet you think we can beat Spurs? You're deluded

Wolves lost to both Huddersfield and Watford at home and then beat Chelsea
Southampton couldn't beat Newcastle and Watford and then beat Arsenal
So why can't we beat Tottenham
