Tottenham vs Everton will be a defining contest for the hosts. A defeat combined with a West Ham United victory against Leeds United would see Spurs relegated. The task is clear for De Zerbi\u2019s side. Their superior goal difference means a draw would effectively secure survival. However, they were unable to deliver that against Chelsea on Tuesday and remain without a home league victory since December. Now, with no alternative, Spurs must deliver a result to avoid a first relegation since 1977.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The visitors have their own objective. With eighth-placed Chelsea just about in reach, a win could still mean European qualification. While it would require favourable results and a significant swing in goal difference, David Moyes\u2019 team will be motivated by the opportunity. The Toffees\u2019 form has slumped in recent weeks, with last week\u2019s 3\u20131 defeat to Sunderland making it seven matches without a win. A victory today would not only help Moyes\u2019 former club, West Ham, but also restore optimism for next season.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Below are the confirmed lineups for Tottenham vs Everton.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Read More: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2026\/04\/28\/xavi-simons-injury-acl-tottenham\/\" target=\"_self\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Xavi Simons&#8217; Injury Puts Pressure on Tottenham Medical Team<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"max-width: 1200px\"><smartframe-embed class=\"smartframe_wp_element\" customer-id=\"1ffbae35d432d0d71911ca2a0b209fbb\" image-id=\"prsiV0MD5xHZ\" style=\"width: 100%; display: inline-flex; max-width: 5400px; aspect-ratio: 5400\/3598;\" ><\/smartframe-embed><\/p>\n<h2><b>Tottenham vs Everton Confirmed Lineups<\/b><\/h2>\n<h3><b>Tottenham Team News<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No players are suspended for the hosts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dominic Solanke appears set for a return.

Jarrad has got a programme through the summer.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jack Grealish also remains sidelined, and the manager explained: \u201cWe\u2019ve looked after Jack since his injury and his injury is coming on.
