Jones Knows' prediction
Catching Tottenham right is proving one of life's mysteries. I think I may have cracked it though.
Back them when they have six or more days to prepare for a game, oppose them when asked to play two games within a four-day period.
Since Antonio Conte took charge, Spurs have had six or more days to prepare for seven games under his watch and they have won six and drawn once. Compare that to their recent record of four days or fewer between games and you find six defeats from seven games in all competitions.

This game falls into the six days or more category so we should be confident of seeing the best side of Spurs against the Premier League's worst travellers. Everton have the fewest away points in the Premier League this season (6).
Plus, they have a manager in Frank Lampard that doesn't embrace keeping things tight on the road. Everton have shipped five in two away games since he took the job. As Chelsea boss, Lampard's team conceded the second-most goals of any team in the Premier League away from his home during his tenure (50) at an average of 1.7 goals per 90 minutes.
When you add it all up, the glaringly obvious sticks out like a sore thumb. Just back Harry Kane to score.
Kane has scored 12 goals in 14 appearances against Everton, including 11 in his last nine since March 2017. On current form, there isn't a hotter player in the Premier League and an odds-against price of Kane to score at 6/5 with Sky Bet looks more than fair enough. Kane to score twice at 11/2 and the hat-trick at 33/1 also should be given some consideration to any staking plan.
SCORE PREDICTION: 3-1 | BETTING ANGLE: Harry Kane to score (6/5 with Sky Bet - Bet Here!)
Opta stats
- Tottenham have lost just one of their last 18 Premier League games against Everton (W8 D9), though that did come in this exact fixture last season (0-1).
- Everton are winless in their last 10 Premier League away games (D2 L8) since beating Brighton 2-0 in August. It's their longest run without a win on the road within the same Premier League campaign since a run of 11 between December and May in 2003-04.
- Tottenham boss Antonio Conte is unbeaten in all five of his Premier League games against Everton (W3 D2), with his sides keeping a clean sheet each time. Only Roberto Mancini has faced an opponent more without his side conceding a single goal in the competition's history (7 games vs Wigan).
- If he plays, this will be Everton keeper Jordan Pickford's 200th Premier League appearance. Each of his previous 199 have been starts, and he would be the 21st player to make 200+ appearances in the competition with 100% of them being as a starter. He will also be the fifth player to make his 200th appearance in the competition on his birthday, after Noel Whelan, Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, Pablo Zabaleta and Victor Moses.
- Son Heung-min has been involved in 10 goals in his last 11 Premier League games (6 goals, 4 assists). Overall in the Premier League this season, only Michail Antonio's goals and assists (15) have been worth more points to their side than Son's have for Spurs (14).

Latest Essential Football Podcast
Manchester derby preview: Can United upset the odds? Can Ronaldo get back to form? And who makes our combined XI
In the latest Football Essential Podcast, host Ron Walker is joined by Sky Sports senior football journalist Charlotte Marsh, Sky Sports News' Ben Ransom and Sky Sports Football data editor Adam Smith ahead of a weekend where the eyes of the Premier League will be on Manchester.
PART ONE | How do Manchester United turn the tide from such a woeful defeat at Old Trafford earlier in the season - and how does Cristiano Ronaldo get back into form? Could this be a 'statement win' for City, and perhaps a 'statement performance' from £100m man Jack Grealish too? Then again, could Riyad Mahrez prove the difference?
PART TWO | Who needs the victory more? Will Manchester United's April, facing City and Liverpool, hold the keys to the title race, and will they make it into the top four? Can City lift the treble, and are they better placed than Liverpool to rack up a trophy haul this season? Plus, our combined XI - including one big absentee.
