Royal Blue: The Everton FC Podcast
Sports:Soccer
How Spurs broke the Premier League cartel, the lessons Everton can learn, and the dodged Blues bullet now coming good
Tottenham are riding a crest of wave after they drew at Barcelona to qualify for the knock-out stages of the Champions League, beat Burnley at the death to continue their best ever start to a Premier League season, and then won 2-0 at North London neighbours Arsenal in midweek to make it through to the Carabao Cup semi-finals.
They also have a great recent record against Everton. They’ve not tasted defeat to the Blues since December 2012 when those late, late goals from Nikica Jelavic and Steven Pienaar earned David Moyes’ side an unlikely victory.
But could Sunday's Goodison Park clash be a game too far for Spurs? And can Marco Silva's men take advantage of what truly is a defensive crisis for Mauricio Pochettino?
Paul Wheelock speaks to Alasdair Gold, who covers Tottenham for the Football.London website, to get answers to those questions.
The Spurs expert also talks his admiration for Everton and Silva, why Richarlison could have been a target for Pochettino, and why a player the Blues looked like they'd dodged a bullet with has now come good.
You will then hear Silva’s pre-match press conference in full, including the Everton manager's thoughts on the big news about Bramley-Moore Dock, the January transfer window, team news, and his team's record against the big six.
