Tottenham host Everton in the final week of the Premier League, in a challenge where the home team has not yet mathematically secured survival.

While Arsenal's rivals celebrate their title triumph, Spurs risk a relegation that seemed unthinkable until recently. A draw is expected to be enough for them due to their superior goal difference over West Ham, while a win would close any account.

However, home form remains a concern. Tottenham have lost five Premier League games in 2026 and are winless in their last ten home matches, one of the worst runs in the club's history in the top flight.

Everton are coming off a 3-1 defeat to Sunderland that ended their hopes of European qualification. The team is now aiming to finish in the top half of the table for the first time since the 2020/21 season.

History favors Tottenham, who won 3-0 in the first match of the season and are looking for the "double" against Everton for the first time since the 2017/18 season.

At Spurs, Richarlison remains the key player to watch, with 11 goals and four assists this season in the Premier League. He has scored four goals in his last five games against his former club.

At Everton, Beto could be crucial, as the team have not lost away from home this season as many times as he has scored. Tottenham will assess Dominic Solanke's condition during the week, while Idrissa Gueye could return for Everton. /Express newspaper/
