Game : Tottenham Hotspur (16th) vs Everton ( 7th)
Competition : English Premier League
Venue : White Hart Lane, London, England
Date : Sunday, 30 November 2008
Kickoff : 15.00 GMT
Everton’s David Moyes takes his Everton side to White Hart Lane on Sunday afternoon for his 300th game in charge of the Toffees. And despite the Merseyside team being 10 places above their opponents, Spurs will be firm favourites going into this game thanks to their recent revival under Harry Redknapp.
Tottenham Hotspur have lost just one game since Redknapp took over from Juande Ramos, and that was against Fulham. After collecting just two points from their first eight fixtures, Spurs moved out of the relegation zone last week with an impressive win over Blackburn. They also beat Mario Breen’s NEC Nijmegen 1-0 in the midweek UEFA Cup tie.
