Everton vs Tottenham LIVE!

Jarrad Branthwaite scored a 94th-minute equaliser as relegation-threatened Everton rescued a point against Tottenham Hotspur with a 2-2 home draw on Saturday to move out of the bottom three in the Premier League table.

Richarlison, once the darling of Goodison Park, scored a brace of goals in the first half and looked to have won the game for the visitors, but Branthwaite headed in at the back post after Everton had troubled Spurs all game with their set-pieces.

Jack Harrison also scored for Everton and after Spurs failed to kill the game in the second half, the battling Merseyside club always had hope they could take something from the match. Spurs are in fourth in the table on 44 points from 23 games, missing the chance to move level with second-placed Manchester City, though they have played a game more. Everton have 19 points from their 23 games.

Dom Smith on Spurs chances

14:10 , Alex Young

You just wonder whether Spurs will come to rue recent chances for Werner, Maddison and Richarlison, all of which were saved by Pickford.

Everton still in this contest with 15 minutes to go, but the question is should they be?

14:08 , Alex Young

75min: Back underway. Richarlison is OK to continue.

14:07 , Alex Young

73min: A break in play as Richarlison and Godfrey clash heads. Coleman is hurriedly being prepared. Godfrey is up but has to go off.

14:02 , Alex Young

70min: Richarlison is denied his hat-trick after turning smartly inside the area and firing high at Pickford.

Superb work from Kulusevski and Maddison in the build-up.

14:00 , Alex Young

67min: Kulusevski immediately involved, first running into the area unsighted but Maddison is unable to find him, and then being squeezed out after a Richarlison pass.

13:56 , Alex Young

64min: First changes for Spurs as Kulusevski are Sarr come on for Bentancur and Hojbjerg.

13:51 , Alex Young

59min: What a strike from Maddison, after a miserable clearance from Godfrey, teeing himself up and firing at the bottom corner which Pickford saves well.

13:50 , Alex Young

57min: Werner has another chance, and this time he is onside, but he hesitates before connecting with Johnson's cross allowing Godfrey to nip in and clear.

13:47 , Alex Young

54min: Werner surely has to score and put the game beyond doubt, running through on goal... but he cannot beat Pickford. A sitter... until the offside flag is raised.

13:44 , Alex Young

52min: VAR looking at a possible penalty to Tottenham after Van de Ven goes down in the area at a corner... but nothing given.

13:43 , Alex Young

50min: Porro tests Pickford from 20 yards, forcing a fine one-handed stop.

13:41 , Alex Young

49min: Everton starting the second half on top, just as they did the first. It's a bit scrappy.

13:38 , Alex Young

47min: Jack Harrison has been awarded Everton's goal by the Premier League. Calvert-Lewin's long goal drought continues.

Second half!

13:37 , Alex Young

46min: Back underway! No changes.

13:34 , Alex Young

Postecoglou made two changes at half-time against Brentford, any today?

Dom Smith's half-time thoughts

13:27 , Alex Young

That was a frantic first half with attacking football played by both teams.

Richarlison’s outstanding finishing is the reason Spurs lead an Everton side who have targeted Vicario from corners and been vindicated for doing so.

Everton still in this contest, and Postecoglou will know that. Tottenham must kill this game off after the break.

13:22 , Alex Young

Two superb strikes from Richarlison, and two non-celebrations, give Spurs a half-time lead.

Everton still firmly in this, though.

Half-time

13:21 , Alex Young

50min: A frantic first half ends!

OFF THE LINE!

13:18 , Alex Young

47min: Another corner and almost another Everton equaliser as Godfrey connects with a header and Vicario redeems himself with a superb stop.

13:16 , Alex Young

46min: Five minutes added on.

13:16 , Alex Young

44min: Everton really pushing for another equaliser. Calvert-Lewin denied by Porro before Gueye fires off one of the worst shots I've ever seen.

GOAL!

13:12 , Alex Young

41min: It's that man again! Maddison lays it off to Richarlison to curls into the top corner from the edge of the area.

That's some finish.

13:11 , Alex Young

40min: Floated in, towards the back post and easily cleared.

13:10 , Alex Young

39min: McNeil wins another free kick, this time around 25 yards out, centre.

Dom Smith on Calvert-Lewin equaliser

13:07 , Alex Young

Everton were beginning to see a little more of the ball as they assert themselves here, and now they have their reward. Dominic Calvert-Lewin scores his first goal in 16 games for Everton.

Vicario thinks he’s cleared the corner, but Tarkowski is on hand to head for Calvert-Lewin. VAR right to allow it. Nothing wrong with it. Tottenham will have to start all over again. 

13:04 , Alex Young

32min: Postecoglou looks far from impressed on the touchline.

13:02 , Alex Young

31min: VAR take look but the goal stands!

GOAL!

13:01 , Alex Young

30min: I said they were building momentum! Calvert-Lewin ends his long goal drought with a simple nod at the back post from the corner.

Vicario is claiming a foul but looks OK to me.

12:57 , Alex Young

26min: There's Micky again, sliding in with another superb tackle to deny Calvert-Lewin. Everton are building some momentum.

12:54 , Alex Young

23min: Incredible last-ditch tackle to deny Calvert-Lewin from Van de Ven, sliding in to block the shot inside the area before the offside flag is shown.

12:53 , Alex Young

22min: Werner tries to find Udogie's darting run down the left, but Pickford is quick off his line to gather.

Spurs controlling the game.

12:51 , Alex Young

20min: Everton think they have an equaliser but McNeil's goalbound shot it blocked on the line by his own team-mate... and then the move is flagged offside anyway.

12:49 , Alex Young

18min: Everton winning plenty of free kicks but their deliveries leave much to be desired. All long and deep and easy for Spurs to regroup and clear.

12:47 , Alex Young

16min: We're going to see this a lot today as Vicario is targeted at the corner (after Man City's winner last week), but this time the goalkeeper wins the free kick.

12:46 , Alex Young

15min: Free kick floated in, but it's easily cleared by Spurs at the second attempt. Groans from the home support.

12:45 , Alex Young

14min: The Goodison crowd wakes up as Bentancur wipes out McNeil. Free incoming.

12:44 , Alex Young

13min: Everton have lost all nine league games in which they have conceded the first goal this season.

12:42 , Alex Young

10min: Porro sends the corner long towards the back post, which is cleared to the edge of the area have Bentancur to volley well over.

12:41 , Alex Young

9min: Maddison skips into the area and tries to bend a shot towards the far bottom corner of Pickford's goal, but it is deflected wide for a corner.

Dom Smith on Richarlison goal

12:39 , Alex Young

Just the start Tottenham would have wanted. Werner did well to set Udogie away down the left, and his pull back is nonchalantly swept home by Richarlison

When Richarlison scored against Everton on December 23, he celebrated before remembering a little too late that he used to play for them. This time, no such confusion. Not even a smile from the Brazilian, but you just know that inwardly he’s ecstatic to be on the score-sheet so early on.

12:37 , Alex Young

6min: Up the other end, Calvert-Lewin gets into the area but cannot direct a header on target.

GOAL!

12:35 , Alex Young

4min: Well, that didn't take long! Richarlison is back at Goodison Park and back among the goals.

Richarlison sweeps home from inside the area with Spurs' first shot on goal. No celebration from the former Toffee.

12:32 , Alex Young

2min: Everton with more of the ball in the opening minute or so, pretty much every player getting a touch.

Kick-off!

12:30 , Alex Young

1min: Here we go!

12:28 , Alex Young

Here come the teams.

12:23 , Alex Young

Almost time. The warm-ups are complete and the players are back in their dressing rooms.

Ange Postecoglu to TNT Sports

12:12 , Alex Young

"Obviously it's a short turnaround from Wednesday night. It's about trying to match the physicality and running capacity that Everton will bring. We've just freshened up the team a little bit.

"Yeah I think we're better placed now than we were a month ago. We've got some bodies back and the team has had a consistent run of form. Today will be a tough game no doubt but we have to be at our best."

Dimitar Berbatov prediction

12:03 , Alex Young

"If Everton lose they’ll be in a tough position," says the former Spurs striker.

"They could have won at Fulham but also nearly lost, I’m not sure how that ended 0-0! Goodison Park is a tough place to go to go but Spurs got another win in midweek.

"They are the entertainers this season. I’ll go for a draw."

Prediction: 1-1

Tottenham have options on the bench

11:55 , Alex Young

Everton make just one change as Gueye comes in for former Spurs loanee Danjuma.

Two changes for Tottenham as Johnson and Hojberg replace Skipp and Kulusevski. It's the first time Kulusevski has been on the bench in the league this season.

Dom Smith checks in

11:49 , Alex Young

Plenty of pace in Tottenham's front three today, with Richarlison, Brennan Johnson and January signing Timo Werner all fond of running onto passes in behind a defence.

Tottenham still have a sizeable hole in their team, with Son Heung-min still away at the Asian Cup and having last night fired South Korea into the semi-finals with a gorgeous free-kick winner against Australia.

For Everton, familiar problems remain. Sean Dyche's side have scored just two goals in their last six matches in all competitions. Dwight McNeil and Dominic Calvert-Lewin remain their biggest attacking threats, but Spurs will back themselves to keep the struggling Toffees out today.

Ange Postecoglou makes Richarlison vow

11:13 , Alex Young

Tottenham head coach Ange Postecoglou says forward Richarlison can become "a real force" for the club in future.

Richarlison has scored seven goals in as many Premier League games ahead of his first return to former club Everton on Saturday.

The Brazilian struggled after joining Spurs in a £60million deal from the Toffees in summer 2022, scoring just once in the League last season, but he has appeared sharper and more confident since having surgery on a pelvis problem in November.

Postecoglou says Richarlison still has room for improvement but played down the suggestion that the 26-year-old was making a case to be Spurs' first-choice centre-forward long-term.

"I’ve never thought in those terms because if you do, you box yourself in," Postecoglou said.

“What I want is for Richy to keep improving, and keep developing his football and becoming a real force for us and we’ll see where that takes us.

Seamus Coleman has been spotted with the squad this morning. Team news to come at half past.

Sean Dyce on goal-shy Everton

10:53 , Alex Young

Everton are without a league win since mid-December, having taken just two points from a possible 15 since earning 15 from 18 in the month previously.

That has shown up the side's lack of goal threat - striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin heads into the visit of Tottenham on a run of 16 games without scoring - despite them creating a lot of chances.

They currently average 14 shots per match, the seventh highest in the division, but have scored only 24 times from an expected goals figure of 33.1, which is the top flight's biggest underperformance.

"A lot of the performance-level stats are very strong but you have got to take advantage of those stats by scoring in one end and stopping it at the other," said manager Sean Dyche.

"We have to make sure that we are focused on that, but it is pleasing in one way that the team is effective to create those chances."

Richarlison growing in confidence at the right time

10:44 , Alex Young

Brentford this week could not live with Tottenham during a 10-minute spell at the start of the second half when the hosts scored three times and Ange Postecoglou will want his side to play with the same tempo from the off, particularly as 12.30 kick-offs are often flat.

Timo Werner, Brennan Johnson and Richarlison all made a point against the Bees but Spurs could still do with more spark in the final third while captain Heung-min Son is away at the Asian Cup and who better to provide it on Merseyside than the returning Brazilian?

Spurs’ best chance of the first half against Brentford was a 20-yard curling effort from Richarlison, reminiscent of Son, which brushed the far post.

It was a moment which suggested Richarlison is growing in confidence, prepared to take the initiative and try something from range, and a seventh goal in as many League games in the second half will only have increased his belief.

Score prediction

10:31 , Alex Young

Tottenham head to Goodison Park with one day's less rest than Everton and have a concerning knack of conceding goals of late, which should give the hosts hope.

However, Everton are hardly the most prolific of teams - they have not scored in the Premier League since last year - so Spurs should be able to hold on for another victory with a well-marshaled defence.

Tottenham to win, 2-1.

Tottenham team news

10:22 , Alex Young

Pape Sarr is expected to be in the Tottenham squad after Senegal's last-16 elimination. Heung-min Son and Yves Bissouma remain at the Asian Cup and AFCON, respectively.

Elsewhere, Rodrigo Bentancur was replaced at half-time of the win over Brentford but is expected to be fit along with James Maddison. Giovani Lo Celso, Ryan Sessegnon and Manor Solomon are still sidelined.

Everton team news

10:14 , Alex Young

Everton hope to welcome Seamus Coleman back into the squad but it is otherwise a case of as you were for Dyche.

Abdoulaye Doucoure is still a week or so away from returning, while Amadou Onana and Andre Gomes are longer-term absentees.

Idrissa Gueye could be available after Senegal's Africa Cup of Nations exit.
