Everton vs Tottenham Hotspur Match Analysis an Prediction

Antonio Conte makes his Premier league debut on his return this weekend as his new side Tottenham visits the Goodison Park to take on a struggling Everton on Sunday evening with kickoff at 17:00.

Everton opened the season strongly registering four wins in their opening six matches while picking up a draw and a defeat in the process. However things haven’t been going Rafa Benitez’s way as the Toffees have now recorded a four-match winless run with a three-match losing streak. The poor run of form has seen the Merseysiders slip to the middle of the table in the 10^th with 14 points collected from their 10 matches this season.

The Toffees head into the match on the back of a 2-1 defeat Wolves at Molineux on Monday with goals from Max Kilman and Raul Jimenez condemning them third consecutive defeat in a row while Alex Iwobi’s decent effort was nothing but a consolation for the Toffees who have now suffered four defeats in their last six matches across all competitions.

The hosts have also been inconsistent at home this season losing two of their last three home matches in the Premier League including the humiliating 5-2 defeat at the hands of the newly promoted Watford. Therefore, the Toffees will be hoping to turn thing around and end their losing streak and should be confident going into the match having lost none of their last three matches against Tottenham at Goodison Park.

Meanwhile Tottenham Hotspur let go of Nuno Espirito Santo just four months into his reign. Spurs were struggling under him in the recent weeks following an impressive start to the season. It didn’t take long for Tottenham to find a new gaffer in Conte who was installed as the new manager with 24 hours as he was among their top targets before Nuno landed the job as Mourinho’s replacement.

Antonio Conte certainly has the potential to turn things around at Tottenham as he has won the Premier League before with Chelsea and he ruled Serie A with both Juventus and Inter Milan. He also just won his first match as Tottenham manager last Thursday against Vitesse in the Europa Conference League, with his side racing to a three-goal lead before hanging on to win 3-2 in a match that saw three red cards fly.

However, he face a more tough opposition this Sunday in the Premier League with his side coming off back-to-back league defeats against West Ham and Manchester United. Therefore, there will be some pressure on him as he wouldn’t want to flop in his first Premier League fixture as Spurs manager and fans will want their side to bounce back.

Tottenham currently occupy the ninth spot with 15 points and will be fascinating to see how they perform under the competitive Conte.
