Tottenham Hotspur vs Everton prediction 24.05.2026 | Premier League

Not long ago, Spurs looked completely stuck. Relegation was starting to feel less like a possibility and more like the obvious ending. Around North London, confidence had drained away.

You could sense it in the crowd after home matches, that flat silence that usually says more than the boos. De Zerbi has at least changed part of that mood. Maybe not entirely, because the problems are still there, but two wins and two draws from six matches kept the Lilywhites alive.

The 2-1 defeat at Chelsea probably frustrated supporters more than the score itself. Spurs were competitive for much of the night before losing control late on again.

Their home record is still difficult to understand. Just 12 points at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium feels incredibly poor for a squad with this much technical quality.

Maddison is expected to ease back slowly from the bench, while injuries continue to hurt the balance of the side. Kulusevski, Kudus, Ben Davies, Odobert, Romero and Xavi Simons all remain unavailable. That is a heavy list for any manager to carry.

The Toffees have probably delivered a season that feels decent rather than memorable. Finishing around mid-table may not excite supporters, yet there were periods where David Moyes’ side looked genuinely difficult to play against.

Between January and late March, Everton lost only twice in 10 matches and briefly pushed themselves into the conversation for a top-half finish.

Consistency disappeared after that strong run. The Merseyside club managed only one victory in the last eight matches, although there were still impressive moments mixed in there. A 3-0 win over Chelsea and a chaotic 3-3 draw with Manchester City showed the Toffees can still trouble stronger opponents.

The concern heading into this trip is away form. Everton are winless in four road matches and conceded regularly during that stretch. Beto should continue leading the line after another productive Premier League campaign, while Thierno Barry offers support after scoring eight league goals himself.

Jack Grealish remains unavailable following foot surgery, and Jarrad Branthwaite is also expected to miss out with a hamstring injury.
