Tottenham Hotspur vs Everton Preview

Tottenham Hotspur vs Everton

Competition – English Premier League

Stadium: Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

Date: 24th May 2026

Kick-off time – 16:00 GMT

The final day of the Premier League season throws up a genuinely tense occasion at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday, with the hosts facing a relegation threat that will make this a deeply uncomfortable afternoon for their supporters. Tottenham sit 17th on 38 points — just two points above West Ham in 18th — and they know that a defeat, combined with a West Ham win in their own final fixture, would send them down to the Championship. A point is all that is required to guarantee survival, but Spurs must earn it.

Everton arrive in north London with no such anxiety. They are 12th on 49 points and the relegation zone is a distant 13 points below them. Their motivation is purely positional — a win today takes them to 52 points, which would place them as high as 10th depending on results elsewhere, though their goal difference of -2 means they would remain below both Chelsea and Brentford on points. Neither European football nor the drop is at stake, but a side without a win in their last five will want to end the campaign on the right note.

Tottenham’s form over the past five matches has been an awkward blend. Their most recent outing ended in a 2-1 defeat away at Chelsea. Prior to that, they drew 1-1 at home to Leeds United. Before that, a 1-2 away win at Aston Villa. Earlier in this run, they won 1-0 away at Wolverhampton Wanderers. The sequence opened with a 2-2 home draw against Brighton. Two wins from five offers some encouragement, but the home draw with Leeds and the defeat in London will have done little to settle the nerves of a club staring at the possibility of relegation.

Everton’s recent form does not read much better and offers Spurs at least some cause for optimism. Their most recent outing was a 1-3 home defeat to Sunderland. Prior to that, a 2-2 draw away at Crystal Palace. Before that, a 3-3 home draw with Manchester City. Earlier in this run, a 2-1 defeat away at West Ham. The sequence opened with a 1-2 home loss to Liverpool. Three defeats in five, with no wins across this run, reflects a side that has been unable to string results together in the closing weeks of the season.

The head-to-head record favours Tottenham, who have won three of the last five meetings, with one draw and one win for Everton. Most recently, Spurs won 3-0 at Everton in October 2025. In the previous encounter, Everton won 3-2 at home in January 2025.

The absences will be significant for Spurs. Romero, Odobert, Davies, Kudus, Kulusevski and Simons are all ruled out — a brutal accumulation of missing quality that has clearly contributed to a difficult run-in. Everton lose Grealish, Branthwaite and Gueye, but the scale of Tottenham’s absentee list is the more damaging of the two. Whether the players available can hold their nerve in what amounts to a near-must-not-lose fixture will define how this afternoon unfolds.

Tottenham are severely depleted ahead of the most pressurised match of their season. Six absentees strip the squad of pace, creativity and experience across multiple positions, and the threadbare nature of the attacking options in particular will give hope to the claret and blue fans (West Ham). Everton’s losses are notable — Branthwaite especially at the back — but three absences against six tells its own story.
