Why Tottenham vs Everton matters in the relegation race

17 | Tottenham | 38 | -10 |
18 | West Ham | 36 | -22 |
Tottenham and Everton recent form entering the match
Spurs have two wins, two draws, and one defeat in their last five matches. The back-to-back victories over Wolverhampton Wanderers and Aston Villa gave De Zerbi's side a real lifeline in the relegation battle.
Wolves are at the bottom of the division, and Villa made many changes with their focus being on the Europa League. Spurs could have secured survival on Tuesday night, but fell to a 2-1 defeat to Chelsea.
As for West Ham, they have lost three, won one, and drawn one of their last five games. A run of three defeats against Brentford, Arsenal, and Newcastle United has all but doomed the Hammers to relegation.
They were unlucky not to earn a point against Arsenal as Callum Wilson's late equalizer was ruled out by VAR. However, against Newcastle, they were poor in a must-win game.
Key players who could decide the match
Richarlison scored Spurs' goal against Chelsea and is a former Everton player, so he will want to get one over his former side. Conor Gallagher has been criticized for his performances since he arrived at Spurs in January. However, he did score a crucial goal to give Tottenham the lead against Villa. Spurs have had multiple injuries this season, with Mohammed Kudus, Wilson Odobert, Dejan Kulusevski, Xavi Simons, Ben Davies, and Cristian Romero all out of action.
For Everton, Jordan Pickford will be looking to frustrate Spurs. He is England's number one and the Toffees' long-term keeper. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, who arrived from Chelsea last summer, has been a key player for David Moyes' side this season. They are missing Jack Grealish, who is injured, but Dewsbury-Hall has added creativity to Everton's midfield.
