Tim Sherwood has shared his prediction for the Everton v Tottenham Hotspur clash on 23 December in North London in the Premier League.
The former Spurs manager has waxed lyrical over Sean Dyche and the job he’s done since taking over the helm at Goodison Park.
However, he believes Ange Posteocoglou’s side are too good for them and thinks Dejan Kulusevski can help them stand out.
Sherwood told Premier League Productions (22 December, 22:53): “Dyche has done an unbelievable job there. Magnificent but I can’t see anything other than a Tottenham win. You see the way Kulusevski is playing.”
Underdogs
Despite Everton’s recent resurgence under Dyche and their current good form, they find themselves as underdogs going into the game.
The Toffees, initially facing relegation fears and a 10-point deduction, have defied expectations with five wins in their last six games.
However, their 16th-place standing in the Premier League doesn’t fully reflect their improved performances.
Facing a Tottenham side sitting comfortably in fifth, Dyche’s up against a team in great form, having won their last two matches.
The absence of key players like Abdoulaye Doucoure for Everton and the stunning form of Kulusevski for Tottenham adds layers to the matchup.
Spurs are expected to dominate the lion’s share of possession and will make things hard but Dyche will stick to his game plan and it will be a fascinating match up.
