Home discomforts - will being hosts on Sunday hinder Spurs?

Yahoo Sports

[BBC] [Getty Images] They might be playing at home on Sunday, but Spurs will be wanting to channel their away form as they try to avoid relegation. Roberto de Zerbi's Tottenham need to get at least a point against Everton if they are to see off West Ham - assuming Nuno Espirito Santo's side do their job and beat Leeds at London Stadium. But as if there wasn't already enough panic, Spurs have only won two league games at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this season - they've drawn six and lost 10, and are winless in their past 10 homes matches in the competition.

The 12 points Tottenham have picked up at home is the joint-fewest in the division, alongside already-relegated Burnley . However, on the road it's been a vastly different story, with Spurs earning 26 points - only champions Arsenal and second-placed Manchester City have more. If it certainly has not been home comforts for Tottenham in 2025-26, something to give the fans in north London hope is that Everton have only won one of their past 16 Premier League away games against Spurs, drawing four and losing 11.

David Moyes' Blues are also without a win in six league matches. Note of caution, though, Everton actually sit alongside Spurs in the away form table with 26 points - and they've obviously accumulated those in one fewer fixture. Tottenham fans will have everything crossed the Toffees finish the campaign with a maximum of 27 points on their travels!
