Tottenham have won just one of their past five matches and are opposed against Everton this weekend at the prices.
The North London club looked all set for Champions League football next season, with a top four finish in the Premier League, but they have faltered over the previous month and now must cope without Gareth Bale.
Andre Villas-Boas saw his star man carried from the White Hart Lane turf on Thursday with an ankle injury sustained in the 2-2 draw with Basel in the Europa League and there can be no underestimating the loss of the Welshman.
Bale is joined on the sidelines by Jermain Defoe and, without their two chief goal threats, Tottenham could struggle to break down the visitors.
Everton boss David Moyes, just named Manager of the Month for March, has seen his side win each of their last three Premier League matches and the Toffees are very much in the frame to contest European club football’s premier competition themselves next term.
A win for Everton in the capital would take them within four points of their hosts, with a game in hand, and it can’t be ruled out given Spurs’ recent wobble.
Prior to the draw with the Swiss side it was defeats at Inter and Liverpool, as well as at home to Fulham, and Spurs should certainly be bigger than the best odds of 2.25 available to resume winnings ways.
