| Match Preview |
| Both Tottenham and Everton face a huge test in this pivotal clash at White Hart Lane as the battle for a top-four place nears the finishing line. For Spurs, a win at Swansea last week helped them get back on track after a hat-trick of defeats in all competitions. However, the extent of Gareth Bale's ankle injury suffered during Thursday's 2-2 draw with Basel in the Europa League will surely have a considerable bearing on the remainder of their season. If Spurs implode, Everton could yet take advantage. They have won three successive league games for the first time since January 2010, but you feel they are going to have to win at White Hart Lane to continue their push for Champions League qualification. The Toffees, who dramatically beat Spurs back in December thanks to two stoppage-time goals, have a game in hand; intriguingly it is against another Champions League-chasing side, Arsenal, in a few weeks. It's a vital month for Everton, as where they finish this season is bound to have a huge bearing on the future of manager David Moyes. They have enjoyed a good recent spell of results against Spurs, who were a real bogey team for them at the start of the Premier League era. The legendary Bill Nicholson's first match in charge of Tottenham was a remarkable 10-4 win over the Toffees back in 1958. He of course went on to lead Spurs to the league and cup double in the 1960-61 season, and such have been the performances of Bale this season that Nicholson would surely have found a place for him in that famous side of half a century ago. That's how good the Welshman has been this season. And that's why everyone connected with Tottenham will be hoping his injury is not as bad as first feared. |
