CRISIS club Tottenham Hotspur visit Everton on Monday night and couldn't pick a worse time to meet the resurgent Toffees.
Spurs start life after Antonio Conte when got his wish after his impassioned ‘please sack me' plea was accepted and the capital club are yet again looking for a new manager.
Off the field, they are a mess following FIFA extending managing director Fabio Paratici's suspension ‘to have worldwide effect.'
On the pitch, they are somehow still in the Champions League places in fourth despite one win in their last five games in all competitions which included tame exits from the FA Cup and the Champions League ensuring yet another trademark trophyless season.
A 3-3 draw at Southampton triggered Conte so much, he talked his way out of the job and who knows what reaction Conte's former No.2 Christian Stellini and Ryan Mason will get.
Everton have gone from looking doomed to a remarkable renaissance under Sean Dyche, have rediscovered their fight and are unbeaten in their last three league games.
How the bookies view it
Despite their problems, Spurs are still clear favourites here at 24/19 with SBK.
Everton can be backed at 5/2 with William Hill. The draw is 12/10 with bet365.
Recent head to heads
Everton have won just one of their past 20 Premier League games against Tottenham, 1-0 away from home in September 2020.
Spurs won 2-0 in October in London this season.
Players to watch
Ellis Simms scored his first goal for Everton in their dramatic 2-2 draw at Chelsea and the former Hearts loanee should build on that opener. He is 15/4 to score anytime with UniBet.
Harry Kane became an England record-breaker during the international break as he became the Three Lions' all-time top scorer. He should be full of confidence, despite his team and is 29/20 to score anytime with UniBet, which is appealing.
Anything else catch the eye?
It's impossible to back Spurs as favourites with any confidence, especially against a resurgent Everton side who are no longer in the relegation zone and have something about them now with the introduction of Dyche.
Arsenal came a cropper at Goodison Park not so long ago and with the hosts a big price, we can go for the fall back of win or draw double chance at a solid 8/11 with William Hill.
Everton have drawn two of their last games 2-2 and Spurs' final match in the Conte era was a 3-3 draw. It would suggest defences will not be on top here.
Go for UniBet's decent price of 59/50 for over 2.5 goals.
