Sunday afternoon’s Premier League action kicks off at Goodison Park, as sixth place Everton host a Tottenham Hotspur side one point and two places above them.

The Toffee’s are unbeaten in thirteen league games in front of their own fans, and go in to the game on the back of a 2-0 win at Aston Villa last time out.

Roberto Martinez is without Arouna Kone, Darron Gibson and Antolin Alcaraz, though John Heitinga in in contention having recovered from a groin strain.

Top scorer Romelu Lukaku is favourite to get the first goal of the game, and is widely available at odds of 6/5 (11/2) ahead of Kevin Mirallas who is 10.0 (9/1) with most firms.

Roberto Martinez’s men are priced at 2.5 (6/4) with a variety of bookmakers to take all three points, with Spurs a 3.10 (21/10) shot with Bet 365, who also offer a best price of 3.4 (12/5) for the draw.

The visitors currently sit in fourth spot, three points behind North London rivals Arsenal, who are in first place.

They edged past Hull City last weekend in the league, before needing penalties to get past the same opposition in the Capital One Cup fourth round on Wednesday.

Andre Villas-Boas is expected to recall a number of first team regulars who were rested midweek for the trip to Merseyside though Kyle Naughton is doubtful with a thigh injury, and Danny Rose (foot) is definitely out.

Top league goalscorer Roberto Soldado is 7.5 (13/2) to open the scoring with Paddy Power ahead of Gylfi Sigurdsson is generously priced at 13.0 (12/1) with the same firm.

Stoppage time goals from Steven Piennar and Nikica Jelavic saw Everton come from behind to secure a 2-1 victory in last season’s corresponding fixture back last December – their third straight home win against the North London side.

The same result this time around is priced at 10.5 (19/2) with Bet Victor, while you may prefer to back the home win with both teams to score at 5.0 (4/1) with the same firm.
