Everton's first action of 2016 has Tottenham Hotspur coming to Merseyside on Sunday. The clubs last faced each other on August 29th at White Hart Lane with the match ending in a 0-0 draw. Spurs come into the match on the heels of a 1-2 win away at Watford last Monday. Everton couldn't keep it together and lost their last match to Stoke 3-4.
The Toffees are at a crucial point in their season and currently sit in 11th place. I seem to write the same thing every week but if Everton are going to finish in the top half of the table and challenge for a spot in Europe, they need to pick up points here. The club certainly has the talent to compete but they consistently drop points to lesser squads. This week, they are facing tough competition with Spurs currently fourth in the table and having their sights set even higher.
