Tottenham Hotspur will fight to secure Premier League survival when they host Everton in a tense final day fixture, with relegation pressure also involving West Ham United.
Spurs go into the decisive match under pressure after collecting just 12 points at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this season, a record that ranks among the lowest home returns in the league.
Despite their struggles, Tottenham remain in control of their fate. A draw on Sunday would be enough to secure survival thanks to a two point cushion and superior goal difference over West Ham.
A defeat, however, combined with a West Ham victory against Leeds United, would see Spurs relegated to the Championship in a dramatic end to the campaign.
Team news offers a boost for Tottenham, with striker Dominic Solanke expected to return and provide much needed attacking threat in a match that could define the club’s season.
Everton arrive with their own targets still in mind and will look to take advantage of Tottenham’s defensive vulnerabilities. Spurs have conceded heavily in recent weeks, while Everton have also struggled away from home, shipping at least two goals in each of their last five away matches.
Everton’s recent record in North London also makes for poor reading, having lost their last four away matches at Spurs by an aggregate score of 13-1.
Despite that history, Everton will take encouragement from knowing a draw could be enough to ensure their own safety depending on other results.
With survival on the line for multiple clubs, Sunday’s clash is set up as one of the most high pressure fixtures of the Premier League season.
