Our prediction for this Premier League match:
Everton and Tottenham take on each other at Goodison Park in what is expected to be one of the most entertaining games of Sunday’s program. The Toffees have been struggling in the Premier League ever since key players suffered injuries. Richarlison is back to contention, but Sigurdsson, Doucoure, Calvert-Lewin, and Andre Gomes remain in the recovery room. Since Everton failed to impress in a 2-1 loss at Wolverhampton, home win should not be considered.
Spurs chiefs, on the other hand, sacked Nuno Espirito Santo following a 3-0 loss to Man Utd. New boss Antonio Conte is on a quest to build a very strong squad, but he will rely on Son and Kane in Sunday’s clash. Given the number of absentees in the home team, we believe that there is a big value in betting on Spurs, who are widely expected to improve their game under the new manager. Bryan Gil is a major doubt, while Ryan Sessegnon remains on the sidelines with injury.
Highlighted Player (James Rodriguez):
James Rodriguez is an attacking midfielder who plays for Spanish giants Real Madrid. The Colombian superstar played for the likes of Envigado and Banfield at the start of his career and he moved to Europe in 2010, joining Portuguese side Porto for a fee of €5.1 million.
James scored 25 goals in 63 league appearances with the Dragons and in 2013 he joined Monaco. His transfer to the Ligue 1 side was the second most expensive in the history of Portuguese Primeira Liga (€45 million) and he signed a five-year contract with les Rouges et Blancs. The Colombian ace impressed at the 2014 FIFA World Cup and, as a result, Real Madrid chiefs signed him on 22 July, 2014 for an undisclosed fee.
However, reports in Spain suggested that the fee was approximately €80 million. Rodriguez scored 13 goals in 29 league appearances for Real Madrid in the 2014/2015 Primera Division campaign and he was in Gareth Bale’s shadow in the 2015/2016 season. James is well known for his technical skills, his vision and the ability to create goal-scoring opportunities for his teammates.
Highlighted Team (Tottenham):
Tottenham Hotspur are a professional football club based in North London. Spurs host their rivals at White Hart Lane and the capacity of the stadium is 36,284. Tottenham won the Premier League (First Division) trophy in 1950/1951 and 1960/1961 and despite producing terrific displays in the 2015/2016 campaign Mauro Pochettino’s team eventually finished the season in third place in the standings.
Tottenham’s bitter rivals are Arsenal, but Chelsea and West Ham United are regarded as the team’s fierce opponents as well. Spurs have won eight FA Cup trophies, with the team also lifting the 1962/1963 UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup title.
Tottenham Hotspur hammered Atletico Madrid in the final of the competition back then (5-1). The likes of David Ginola, Sol Campbell, Teddy Sheringham, Jurgen Klinsmann, Gary Lineker, Luka Modric, Robbie Keane and Gareth Bale are star players that used to play for the White Hart Lane outfit in the past. The colour of Tottenham Hotspur’s home kit is white.
