Tottenham vs Everton: Spurs with “no chance” but to match Man United’s 45 points
It is not common to see Manchester United sharing their seat with Tottenham Hotspur, especially at such a point in the season.
There's power and hope within Tottenham Hotspur's team. The fight against Man City and Man United continues...
Both teams were supposed to open the 2011/12 English Premier League season. However, instability in England’s capital – due to the riots – led in the cancelation of this fixture. Finally, it is going to come on—and at a perfect time for Harry Redknapp’s men.
Yes, the atmosphere at the club is presently high and the statistics at White Hart Lane are stunning. Since their humiliating 5-1 defeat to Manchester City on August 28, Tottenham Hotspur have not lost on home soil.
In the process, they’ve picked up as many as 22 points from a possible 27. Spurs also score an average of 2 goals per game at White Hart Lane so how hopeful should Everton be ahead of their trip to London?
The Toffees are yet to find consistency in the English Premier League. They want to bounce back from their recent 2-1 loss against Bolton Wanderers, but will Spurs allow them to do so?
It sounds incredible, but it is true. The Premiership trophy is well within the reach of Spurs’ hands. Manchester City and Manchester United are currently leading the way, but Tottenham Hotspur have good reasons to keep dreaming.
“City and United know we are a threat, and with every game that we keep on winning we can put pressure on them to keep winning,” Defoe told the Daily Mirror earlier this week.
“We don't feel negative pressure. We are enjoying it. But at the same time we know that it may not come again in the way that it has. This is such a good opportunity for us. We want to take it with both hands.”
Kaboul reminded how serious everyone at the club is to genuinely compete against the likes of Man City and Man United. The centre-back told reporters:
“The Everton game next Wednesday is massively important for us. That should have been the first game of the season for us and we only play it now.
“We need to take the three points again. We have no choice. We have taken more confidence. We are a massive team in England now so we have to assume that and play as well as we can every week.”
Will Spurs miss the chance to go level on points with second-placed Manchester United?
