1 DAY AGO - This is the wrong time of the season for grand architectural plans or extensive tactical surgery. No time for building blocks and moral victories. That moment may yet arrive for Jose Mourinho and Tottenham, if their chances of European football evaporate in the next couple of weeks. That moment may be imminent for Carlo Ancelotti and Everton, whose defeat here now gives them a mountain to climb in that respect. But at this stage, with the days ticking down and the games coming thick and fast, the priority is very much on pulling out a result however you can.And here it was Tottenham who emerged with the spoils at the end of a slightly drab game: not really by dint of their dazzling superiority, but through a deflected Michael Keane own goal in the first half.

1 DAY AGO - Sign up now! Sign up now! Sign up now? Sign up now!During a Zoom press conference last Friday, Séamus Coleman was asked about Everton’s latest false dawn and the Merseyside club’s captain put it down to mindset: that tonight’s match at Tottenham is the kind of game he and his team-mates should turn up for thinking they will win. In good news for Séamus and his team-mates, such is the current mindset of their opponents that tonight’s match in north London is almost certainly one Tottenham’s players also think Everton will win. Having been routinely thrown under the bus by their completely blameless manager in the wake of last week’s feeble surrender at Bramall Lane, Harry Kane and chums will have listened and read with interest as José Mourinho doubled down when it came to dishing out blame to everyone involved in that particular defeat except himself.
