Everton take on the visitors Tottenham at "Goodison Park" in the matchday four of the English Premier League. The game will be played in Liverpool on Saturday, September 9th.
After three rounds behind Everton settles on the 12th position in the Premier League table with four points taken and 2-3 goal difference. In the UEFA Europa League qualification finals "The Toffees" defeated Hajduk Split with 3:1 aggregated score after two head-to-heads, having promoted to the Group stage of the tournament. At the start of the season Ronald Koeman's side gained 1:0 victory over Stoke City in front of its fans. Everton played two encounters on the road resulting in 1:1 draw vs. Manchester City and 0:2 loss to Chelsea. "The Toffees" have not been broken across four home clashes in a row with two draws and two wins earned during that period. The team gained its only 0:2 defeat in the away fight against Chelsea.

Tottenham have also gained four points in three matchdays but due to that the team scored more goals it sits on the ninth place of the Premier League standings with 4-3 goal difference. The London side entered the new season with a confident 2:0 victory over Newcastle on the road while “The Spurs” have lost the second match to Chelsea 1:2 and then earned 1:1 draw vs. Burnley in the third round. Judging from the results of Tottenham's recent games, the side is not in its best competitive form now and Mauricio Pochettino's team must work hard on the eve of the forthcoming clash in which Erik Lamela won't be able to help his teammates due to the thigh injury.
Everton and Tottenham are top teams of England which set forth ambitious targets. Having won 3:2 in the recent head-to-head, Tottenham broke the seven-game series during which the teams combined less than three goals per fight. I believe that the defense will be stronger that the attack this time as well.
Prediction for the match: Under 3.0 scored goals.
