David Moyes will likely be “fuming” with his Everton players and that only spells bad news for Tottenham Hotspur.

That is the view of Jamie Redknapp, who was speaking on the back of Tottenham Hotspur’s 2-1 loss at Chelsea on Tuesday.

Spurs’ defeat means the last relegation spot will be decided on the final weekend of the Premier League season.

Tottenham host Everton at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, while fellow relegation battlers West Ham are at home to Leeds United.

Ahead of Everton’s trip to North London, Redknapp has shared an interesting verdict.

Everton form is actually bad news for Tottenham

Everton’s season has ended in a rather disappointing manner, even if a top-half finish is still very much achievable.

It was not that long ago there was even talk of a Champions League spot being up for grabs for the Toffees if they beat rivals Liverpool.

However, that is one of six games in a row Everton have failed to win since beating Chelsea 3-0 in a high point of the campaign on 21 March.

The Toffees most recently went down 3-1 to Sunderland at the weekend, sparking plenty of boos from the home sections, which quickly emptied.

But Redknapp, speaking live on Sky Sports on Tuesday night, suggested that could work against Tottenham in Sunday’s showdown.

“[Tottenham] are sleepwalking towards relegation. I said it earlier this season,” Redknapp said. “The only thing that’s saved them is a couple of good results.

“When I say good, they beat Wolves, and they beat an Aston Villa side who had seven players out at the time.

“Now they’ve got to find a way to win a game at home. Their home form has been horrendous all season. They’ve had no quality and no character to win a football match.

“Now they’ve got to find a way to beat Everton. David Moyes will be fuming after the weekend and he’ll be going there thinking, ‘We’ve got to get something out of this game.’

“I’d rather be playing Leeds at home than Everton.”

Redknapp went on to add that, despite Spurs’ dreadful home record, he can see Roberto De Zerbi’s men getting the point they need to stay up.

How does Tottenham’s home form compare to Everton’s?

Everton let slip a lead to lose against Sunderland last Sunday, with that the Toffees’ six defeat in 19 games on home soil this term.

A lot has been made, rightly so, of Everton’s poor record in their maiden campaign at Hill Dickinson Stadium.

But Tottenham’s form on their own patch has been even worse. The Lilywhites have taken 12 points from a possible 54 this season, compared to 23 points from 57 for Everton.

Incredibly, no team in the division has a worse record than Spurs, with Burnley also collecting 12 from 54 so far.

Everton really should be targeting all three points when they travel to the capital, then, in what could be a seismic result in the Premier League relegation battle.
