Everton vs. Tottenham Hotspur: Preview, team news, prediction for Premier League match
Two managers desperate for a Premier League win meet on Sunday but at completely different places in their current jobs.
David Moyes' Everton return was ruined by Aston Villa in midweek, and he needs a victory in the bank quickly to get his second reign off to a positive start. Once again, goalscoring was the issue for the Toffees against Villa, but they'll come up against a Spurs side whose defence has been depleted by injury.
Those injuries and a slump in form have seen Ange Postecoglou's side fail to win in the league since their 4-0 win over Manchester City in November - with rumours that only the cup exploits are easing the pressure on the Australian.

The two teams have enjoyed a large portion of their history in the top flight and met on nearly 200 occasions, with Tottenham getting the better of the fixture.
The Toffees recent record isn't great reading either, with only one league win over Spurs since 2012.
