Tottenham Hotspur are visiting Everton this evening aiming to resurrect their faltering season. Jose Mourinho’s side still have the Carabao Cup final against Manchester City to look forward to but their Europa League campaign ended in ignominy in Zagreb and the top four is looking like a tall order. A win tonight against Everton is imperative in order to climb above Liverpool and close the gap to Chelsea and fourth-place West Ham.
Everton have their own European aspirations, and arguably are the more likely of the two clubs to achieve them, sitting only one point behind Spurs in the table with a game in hand to come against Aston Villa. Carlo Ancelotti’s side are without Dominic Calvert-Lewin through injury but have other key players returning from layoffs in time for the crucial run-in. A win here over Tottenham would give the Toffees a major boost ahead of the final weeks of the season.

Jose Mourinho wants total commitment from his players until the end of the season:
“It’s perfectly clear that we need to fight for every point until the end of the season,” said Mourinho in his pre-match press conference.
“That’s what we did against Manchester United where clearly after the game you didn’t get from me one single negative word about the attitude and the commitment of my players. That’s what we have to do until the last match of the season while anything is possible.”

The home side are in a patchy run of form, having won just twice in their last six league games.
Tottenham, meanwhile, are on a marginally better run of form, as they’ve won three from their last six.
But all is not well with the away side, with Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho coming under fire for their recent defeat against Man Utd.
