With just one win in their last nine Premier League games, Tottenham will be desperate for three points when they take on Everton at Goodison Park later today.

After falling to a 2-1 defeat against north London rivals Arsenal, Spurs dropped to 14th in the Premier League table, with the Lilywhites having won just seven of their 21 league games so far this campaign. In fact, their only league win since beating Manchester City 4-0 in November was against bottom-of-the-league Southampton, so Ange Postecoglou will be hoping for a much-needed three points against Everton.

With David Moyes now in charge, Everton currently sit 16th in the Premier League, with the Toffees having managed to score in just two of their last 11 league games. The last clash between the two sides was a straightforward one for Spurs though, with Postecoglou's side winning 4-0 in north London.

So, can Spurs put an end to their five-game winless run in the Premier League later today? Let's take a look.

We simulated Everton vs Spurs to get a score prediction

To complete this simulation, we used EA FC 25 and updated the squads with the latest injuries and suspensions.

We predict that the Toffees could set up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with their line-up as follows: Pickford; Young, Tarkowski, Branthwaite, Mykolenko; Mangala, Gueye; Harrison, Doucoure, Ndiaye; Calvert-Lewin.

We predict that Spurs could line up in a 4-3-3 formation, with their starting XI as follows: Kinsky; Porro, Dragusin, Gray, Spence; Bergvall, Kulusevski, Maddison; Johnson, Solanke, Son.

An uneventful first half played out at Goodison Park in the simulation, with a mix of good defending from Everton and lacklustre attacking from Spurs resulting in just two shots on target in the opening 45 minutes. Postecoglou's side were dominating the game with nothing to show for it, but against the run of play, it was Everton who went ahead.

Some nice link-up play on the right saw Jack Harrison surge into the middle of the pitch and away from Djed Spence, and with space, the winger picked out the run of Iliman Ndiaye with a fantastic through ball. The attacker got the wrong side of Radu Dragusin to latch onto the pass, and a deft finish with the outside of his boot saw him beat Antonin Kinsky with ease to put the Toffees 1-0 up.

After the goal, not much changed from Spurs' perspective, as they continued to dominate possession in the hope of breaking down the blunt Everton backline. It seemed like the elusive goal would never arrive, but in the 84th minute and 26 shots later, a stroke of luck allowed the Lilywhites to draw level.

In a rare attack with space behind the defence, James Maddison slipped Dominic Solanke through on goal, but the striker was unlucky to see his shot hit the post. Fortunately for Spurs, the ball rebounded back into the path of Dejan Kulusevski, and the Swede was able to tap into an empty net to make it 1-1.

Spurs' dominance continued into the final stages of the game, but they were unable to find a winner as the wait for a Premier League win continued.
