Tottenham are 4/7 with Stan James to beat Everton in the Premier League and striker Jermain Defoe can set Spurs on their way.
Injuries continue to affect David Moyes’ already streamlined squad, which has struggled in front of goal all season and this coupled with the fact that his Everton side needed a second half penalty to finally put Saturday’s FA Cup tie out of reach of non-league Tamworth, doesn’t bode well ahead of the Toffees’ trip to Tottenham for a rescheduled Premiership fixture.
It’s hard to envisage anything other than a defeat for the shot-shy visitors, 6/1 outsiders, especially as victory will move Spurs level on points with second-placed Manchester United in the title race and Harry Redknapp’s men are every bit a home banker at 4/7 via Stan James.
Furthermore, the Toffees’ lack of creativity suggests that they are unlikely to provide any meaningful threat in attack at White Hart Lane, where Skybet offer 6/4 for the hosts to prevail ‘to nil’.
A 2-0 Tottenham triumph catches the eye then at 13/2 (William Hill) while Jermain Defoe has struck in each of his last couple of appearances and has to be fancied at 11/2 with Bwin to break the deadlock.
Recommended Bets:
Tottenham to win ‘to nil’ – 6/4 (Skybet)
Jermain Defoe to score first – 11/2 (Bwin)
