Mark Lawrenson that he expects Tottenham Hotspur to secure a valuable win when they face Everton on Friday night.

Spurs travel to Goodison Park looking to get their top four push back on track. Jose Mourinho’s men sit seventh and have not won either of their last two games.

A win on Friday would potentially knock one of their rivals out of the running for those European places. Everton sit one place lower, but do boast a game in hand.

Carlo Ancelotti’s men however, are not enjoying the best run of form either, not winning in five in all competitions. And Lawrenson believes that Spurs have enough to extend the Toffees’ wait for a win.

“Normally I would fancy Everton to come out on top in a game like this at Goodison Park but their form there has been really poor recently,” , as he backed Spurs for a 2-1 win.

“Tottenham have lost their way a little of late too, and they look far from solid at the back. They do have the firepower of Harry Kane and Son Heung-min, though, and they might make the difference here.”

What will give Everton confidence is that they won the previous two meetings between the two sides this season.

Of course, there was the opening day victory in North London. But they also edged a nine-goal thriller in the FA Cup earlier this year.

However, no team in the top-half of the table has won fewer home games than Everton.

And Mourinho surely cannot afford to see his side drop more points if he wants to avoid the pressure on his own shoulders increasing.
