| The battle for salvation is furious as Tottenham accept at home Everton, while West Ham will play at home against Leeds. Fortunately for last season's 17th-place finishers, their city rivals West Ham are performing even worse, meaning a draw in their upcoming match against Everton will be enough to secure their Premier League status. The Londoners go into the final round of matches with a two-point lead over their city rivals West Ham and a significantly better goal difference. Everton no longer have any sporting ambitions this season and are mentally already checked into their summer break. This is easily seen in the fact that the visitors haven't won in six matches, losing half of them. Moreover, goals seem likely for both sides. Both defenses have plenty of room for improvement, while the attacks are relatively solid. Four of the home team's last five league games ended this way and in Everton's case, the last six league matches have followed suit. Tottenham have lost only one of their last ten Premier League meetings against Everton and the home side have won half of those matches. |
