Tottenham are unbeaten in their last 12 Premier League meetings with Everton (W7 D5), winning each of the last four in a row by an aggregate score of 16-4. Everton haven’t won away against Tottenham in the Premier League since November 2008 (1-0), drawing three and losing six since. Tottenham have won their final Premier League game of the season in seven of the last eight campaigns, with the exception being a 1-5 loss at Newcastle in 2015-16. Their last three such games have produced a total of 23 goals (1-5 vs Newcastle, 7-1 vs Hull and 5-4 vs Leicester). Everton have lost their final Premier League game in each of the last two campaigns, with both of those defeats coming in London (1-3 at Arsenal, 1-3 at West Ham). A draw for Tottenham will guarantee them a top-four finish for the fourth consecutive Premier League season; it will be their best such run in the top-flight since a run of five between 1959-60 and 1963-64. Everton have kept a clean sheet in eight of their last 10 Premier League games, as many as they had in their previous 32 in the competition. Tottenham have lost seven home games in all competitions this season – they last lost more at home in a single campaign in 2007-08 (8). Tottenham striker Harry Kane has scored two goals in each of his last four Premier League appearances against Everton – no player has ever scored 2+ goals in five consecutive games against an opponent in the competition (Michael Owen vs Newcastle also four between 1998 and 2001). Tottenham’s Christian Eriksen has scored in each of his last three Premier League appearances against Everton – the only side he’s scored in four consecutive games against in the competition are Sunderland. Everton’s Theo Walcott has been involved in seven goals in his last eight Premier League games against Spurs (4 goals, 3 assists). In total, he’s had a hand in nine Premier League goals against Tottenham (5 goals, 4 assists), only being involved in more against Newcastle (10).

Spurs need to ensure there's no eight-goal swing with Arsenal in order to keep their top four spot and if Chelsea fail to win then a victory against the Toffees at the new stadium would be enough to see Spurs finish in third place. Pochettino is without the injured Harry Kane (ankle), Harry Winks (groin), Davinson Sanchez (thigh) and Jan Vertonghen (ankle). He also cannot call upon Son Heung-min and Juan Foyth are both serving the first game in their three match bans after their red cards at Bournemouth. Danny Rose (hamstring) and Victor Wanyama (thigh) picked up injuries in the Champions League triumph at Ajax. Rose is out and Wanyama is on the bench. Erik Lamela starts after coming off the bench in Amsterdam, and Serge Aurier, who returned to training this week, is on the bench. The Spurs boss has given Kyle Walker-Peters a start and Eric Dier steps in to play alongside Toby Alderweireld with all the other first team centre-backs injured or suspended. Here's the team Pochettino has gone with: Lloris (C), Walker-Peters, Alderweireld, Dier, Davies, Sissoko, Eriksen, Dele, Lamela, Lucas, Llorente. Subs: Gazzaniga, Trippier, Aurier, Wanyama, Marsh, Skipp, Janssen. Keep up to date with the latest Tottenham Hotspur news, features and exclusives from football.london via our free WhatsApp service.

Follow me on Twitter @covershadow09<doc-sep>Tottenham Hotspur closed out their Premier League campaign with a 2-2 draw to finish the season fourth in the table. A number of Tottenham fans have taken to Twitter to criticise Erik Lamela’s display for Mauricio Pochettino’s side as they concluded their Premier League campaign with a 2-2 draw on the final day of the season. Pochettino made some changes for their clash with Everton, with Lamela one of those brought into the starting lineup while a couple of youngsters were handed a spot on the bench as Spurs kept one eye on their upcoming Champions League final. Goals from Eric Dier and Christian Eriksen either side of two Toffees strikes ensured that the points were shared. It may not be a day that lives long in the memory – especially given what is to come for Tottenham – but some supporters are suggesting that it may prove to be a notable appearance for Lamela. Gareth Bale Is BACK...FIVE Months Late The 27-year-old left a number of fans feeling quite underwhelmed with his performance. And some have insisted that the time has come to sell the Argentinian at the end of the season. Lamela has played a peripheral role this term, starting just nine of the 19 league games that he has featured in. And after his display against Marco Silva’s side, a handful of fans are not convinced that he should feature in their plans moving forward. Of course, that could all change if he makes a decisive contribution in Madrid at the start of next month. But following the final day of the Premier League season, it appears that plenty of Tottenham fans would not mind too much if he did not feature against Liverpool anyway. Here is what some of the fans made of Lamela’s performance… This content could not be loaded Everton are one of the rare beasts that are as slow as Spurs. But if you start Eriksen and Lamela together, one of the least functional midfield partnerships when it comes to clean sheets, you are asking for a cricket score. #COYS #thfc #tactics — Ole Gibbsy (@OleGibbsy) May 12, 2019 This content could not be loaded Id take gomes and lookman of Everton if they want wanyama and lamela — Buddybets (@Buddy04983204) May 12, 2019 This content could not be loaded Lamela definitely needs to be sold. A complete waste of a squad position. Always injured and when he does play it’s usually forgettable. Coasts on 2/3 good games a season if that. — daniel (@shootingforgoal) May 12, 2019 This content could not be loaded Lamela is truly dreadful in all aspects of this match. — Dginzu (@dginzu) May 12, 2019 This content could not be loaded Spurs are playing so awful, eriksen, lamela, walker Peters lol. Lamela is truly a joke — shariff (@sharifftweets) May 12, 2019 This content could not be loaded Would really prefer Christian and Lamela to be a little LESS useless today #coys — Sam (@s_neemer) May 12, 2019 This content could not be loaded #COYS Lamela is so frustrating to watch , you wouldn’t wanna play in the same team week in week out with him . — Jon (@JonWals17999618) May 12, 2019 In other news, 'This can't be real': Some Liverpool fans shocked by what David James said about Salah<doc-sep>
Tottenham, fresh from their European heroics in Amsterdam, take on Everton in north London this afternoon. Mauricio Pochettino's side are not yet totally assured of fourth-place, although it would take a huge collapse for Arsenal to usurp them. Spurs won this fixture 6-2 earlier in the year, but they are without many of the players who featured at Goodison Park that day. Man of the moment Lucas Moura will again be the team's go to man, especially with a glaring amount of absentees. Harry Kane remains injured with Son Heung-min suspended following his red card at Bournemouth last weekend. It means Fernando Llorente is expected to lead the line with Moura in support. Harry Winks is out with Victor Wanyama also looking unlikely meaning Moussa Sissoko's midfield partners will be Dele Alli, Christian Eriksen and Eric Dier. (Image: GETTY) In defence Jan Vertonghen and Davinson Sanchez are both absent with Danny Rose a doubt and Juan Foyth suspended. Kieran Trippier and Ben Davies could occupy the full-back spots, although with Toby Alderweireld lacking natural centre-back to partner him Pochettino could go for a back three. The Argentine may also be forced to turn to youth, or even deploy a make shift defender to partner the Belgian. Serge Aurier and Kyle Walker-Peters are Tottenham's only other defenders, but neither possess the experience to play in the centre of a back four. (Image: buildlineup.com) Although Aurier could contribute as a centre-back as Tottenham look to round off their domestic season. And following comments made this week could this yet prove to be Pochettino's last Premier League game as Tottenham boss. Tottenham predicted starting XI: Lloris; Davies, Alderweireld, Aurier; Trippier, Sissoko, Dier, Eriksen, Alli; Moura, Llorente
