Tottenham vs Everton Prediction 12 September 2026
🔊 London versus Liverpool. A classic clash between two football cities. Tottenham host Everton. The hosts have made a dreadful start, sitting at the bottom of the table and still yet to score. Everton are doing considerably better at the start of the season - they are on a four-match unbeaten run and are ready to fight for points even in the most difficult away conditions. The main question is whether De Zerbi can turn things around and compete for all three points for the first time this season.

Head-to-Head
📊 The head-to-head record spans 40 matches. Tottenham have won 17, 15 have ended in draws, and Everton have won 8. Last season the two sides met twice in the Premier League and Tottenham won both games, 1-0 and 3-0.
Head-to-head statistics Tottenham - Everton
Tottenham Hotspur Team Overview
Under Roberto De Zerbi, Tottenham have managed to stumble into a full-blown crisis from the very start of the season, turning their matches into a goalless spectacle. Spurs have taken just one point from a possible nine and find themselves embarrassingly rooted to the bottom of the table, having set a grim record - De Zerbi's side have gone three Premier League matches without scoring a single goal. They drew a blank against Nottingham (0-0) and suffered two further defeats without scoring, showing a complete inability to threaten in the final third, which has made the Italian's attacking football look more like aimless ball circulation.
De Zerbi's attempt to revive the team and restore confidence through a domestic cup fixture produced only a brief spark that did nothing to address the deeper problems. In the League Cup, Tottenham played with energy and aggression, beating modest Charlton 5-1. That win allowed the forwards to finally end their scoring drought, but the league matches that followed showed the problems remain unsolved.
Match Results: Tottenham Hotspur
Everton Team Overview
Everton have put together an impressive unbeaten run, picking up five points from nine and establishing themselves in the top ten of the Premier League without a defeat. The Toffees ground out a pragmatic win against one opponent, kept things tight in a very difficult away fixture, and scrapped out a 2-2 draw with Manchester United, showing real defensive discipline. In the League Cup, the side dealt comfortably with Preston, beating them 4-0.
Everton's ability to sustain unbeaten runs owes a great deal to the form of their first-choice goalkeeper Jordan Pickford. In matches played under heavy pressure, when the team deliberately sit in a low defensive block, Pickford regularly produces runs of remarkable saves, lifting the defenders around him and effectively earning Everton their draws.

⚽ Goals Prediction
The Toffees under David Moyes have been scoring consistently in the new season. Liverpool are in excellent form, their attack has been effective, and they will find their chances in front of goal. Head-to-head meetings between these two sides at Tottenham's ground have regularly produced goals. When both teams have strong motivation for the result - and for Tottenham a win is critical - matches often open up in the second half, turning into an exchange of attacks from both sides. We think Both Teams to Score - Yes is worth backing at 1.75*.
🚩 Corner Prediction
Although Everton's general away trend leans towards low corner counts, matches against dominant sides like Tottenham regularly see the 10-corner mark surpassed due to the hosts' activity. At home, Spurs engage in aggressive pressing from the first minute and make heavy use of the wide areas in attack. The hosts are capable of accounting for the bulk of this total on their own - in their recent home Premier League matches they have consistently delivered 6-8 corners. Even when sitting deeper, Everton pose a threat on the counter-attack and tend to earn 3-4 corners per match through aerial duels and balls played in behind for their forwards. The prediction is Total Corners - Over 9.5, priced at 1.51*.
🟨 Yellow Cards Prediction
The referee appointed for this match is Darren England. He is one of the more lenient officials in the Premier League, allowing teams to play physical football and rarely reaching for disciplinary sanctions unless the temperature of a match gets out of hand. Meetings between these two sides in London have traditionally been played in a disciplined manner. The statistics point to a low-card trend: no more than 2 yellow cards were shown in 12 of the last 14 head-to-head meetings between these teams at Tottenham's ground in the Premier League. The hosts, under their current coaching staff, look to play clean, combination-based football. Early in the season, Spurs are averaging just 1.33 yellow cards per game. At home, with the ball, the team rarely find themselves having to resort to tactical fouls. Our prediction is Total Yellow Cards - Under 4.5 at odds of 1.65*.
*Odds are approximate and may vary across different bookmakers.
⭐️ Editorial Prediction
David Moyes's Toffees head into matchday 4 unbeaten. They have picked up 5 points from their opening three matches, showing character and a decent return in front of goal with 5 goals scored. The team are in good psychological shape and know how to keep things balanced. Spurs, meanwhile, are suffering from a prolonged goal drought. On top of that, their home ground has stopped being a fortress: Tottenham have won just 3 of their last 12 home Premier League matches in which they were favoured by the bookmakers, drawing 3 and losing 6. The main prediction is Everton not to lose. Predicted score: 1-1.
