Overview
Tottenham is facing the risk of relegation when hosting Everton at home in the final round of the Premier League season 2025-2026.
As one of the 6 Premier League founding clubs that have never been relegated in the past 34 years, Spurs are now facing the worst prospect after an unbelievable season of decline.
Just 12 months ago, Tottenham even raised the Europa League championship and participated in the Champions League. However, before the final round of this season, Roberto De Zerbi's team only ranked 17th in the standings and was still not sure of relegation.
Spurs are currently 2 points ahead of West Ham in 18th place. A victory will help them definitely stay in the Premier League, while a draw is likely enough thanks to a superior goal difference compared to their city rivals.
Conversely, if Tottenham fails and West Ham defeats Leeds United, the North London team will officially be relegated.
Things could have been different if Spurs had not lost to Chelsea 1-2 in the middle of the week. That result caused them to lose the opportunity to take early decisions and be forced to enter the "jumping final" full of pressure at home.
What worries Tottenham fans is poor performance at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Spurs have only won 2 out of 18 home matches in the Premier League this season.
Worse, they are going through a 10-match winless streak at home in the Premier League, including four draws and six defeats. This is the second worst streak in club history, only behind the 14-match winless period from 1993 to 1994.
However, Everton is also not in good form before the trip to London. David Moyes' team has gone through 6 consecutive matches without knowing the taste of victory since the beginning of April, including three draws and three defeats.
This decline officially puts Everton out of chance of winning a European cup ticket. Notably, Everton has dropped the lead in all 3 recent matches and could not win. Most recently, the 1-3 defeat to Sunderland at home, a match marking the emotional farewell of captain Seamus Coleman after his 434th appearance for the club.
Everton's defense is also disappointing when conceding 14 goals in the last 6 matches - a number not commensurate with a team under Moyes.
Head-to-head history also does not favor the Merseyside representative. Everton has only won one of their last 16 away games against Tottenham in the Premier League, drawing four and losing up to 11 matches. They have also lost all four of their last trips to Spurs' home ground with a total score of 1-13.
Richardson will be Tottenham's biggest hope in this decisive match. The Brazilian striker has contributed to 15 Premier League goals this season, including 11 goals and 4 assists. He has also scored 4 goals in the last five encounters with Everton - his old team.
Head-to-head record
Tottenham entered the match against Everton with certain confidence after the 3-0 victory in the first leg in October last year. In that match, Micky van de Ven shone with a double at Hill Dickinson, contributing greatly to helping Spurs overwhelm the opponent.
The North London team is also dominating in recent encounters when winning three in the last 5 matches against Everton, and scoring 13 goals.
Score prediction: Tottenham 2-1 Everton
The match between Tottenham and Everton takes place at 10:00 PM on May 24th (Vietnam time).
