Managerless Spurs travel to Goodison Park to face Sean Dyche's Toffees. Tottenham have been forced to pay for their inconsistencies in the Premier League this campaign but will hope to be ready in time for Sunday's trip.
The last fixture of Matchday 28 in the Premier League sees Everton play hosts to Tottenham Hotspur at Goodison Park on Monday night, April 3, 2023.
Spurs are currently without a manager after Antonio Conte literally worked himself out of the job following his explosive post-match rant after the Lilywhites surrendered a 3-1 lead against Southampton last weekend.

Spurs are currently fourth on the Premier League summit and a win here could further improve their chances of sealing Champions League qualification.
Meanwhile, Everton is 15th, just three points off bottom-placed Southampton.
Sean Dyche was fully aware of the task ahead after replacing Frank Lampard in the Goodison dugout.
The Merseysiders recorded a deserved 2-2 draw against Chelsea in their last outing, ending the Blues’ three-match winning streak.

10 Key facts you should know ahead of Everton vs Tottenham Hotspur
1, Everton have won just ONE of their last 20 Premier League games against Spurs (D9 L10), picking up a 1-0 away win in September 2020.
2, After losing three away Premier League games against Everton between January 2011 and December 2012, Tottenham are now UNBEATEN in their last NINE visits to Goodison Park (W3 D6), though each of the last three have ended level.
)
3, Tottenham have kept more Premier League clean sheets against Everton than against any other opponent (24), shutting them out in each of their last three meetings.
4, Everton have won THREE of their four Premier League games at Goodison Park under Sean Dyche (L1), more than their first 10 home league games of the season under Frank Lampard beforehand (W2 D2 L6).
All three of those wins under Dyche have been 1-0, with seven of the Toffees’ last nine home wins in the Premier League being by that exact score.
5, Tottenham have conceded as many Premier League goals this season as they did in the whole of last term(40).
It is their most goals conceded from their first 28 games of a league campaign since 2007-08 (45).
6, Tottenham have scored a league-high 14 headed goals in the Premier League this season, last netting more in a single campaign in 1999-00 (16).
)
Nine of these have been scored by Harry Kane, with no player ever scoring 10 headers in a season in the competition.
7, In Everton’s eight Premier League games under Sean Dyche, they have either kept a clean sheet (3 times) or conceded at least two goals (5 times).
Indeed, since his first game in charge, only Liverpool (5) have more Premier League clean sheets than the Toffees (3), but despite this, only Nottingham Forest (14) have conceded more goals than Dyche’s side (12).
8, Tottenham striker Harry Kane has scored 14 Premier League goals against Everton, only netting more against Leicester (18).

He has netted six braces against the Toffees, with only Alan Shearer netting multiple goals in more different Premier League games against an opponent (7 vs Leeds – 6 braces, 1 hat-trick).
9, Abdoulaye Doucouré has been directly involved in each of Everton’s last four Premier League goals (2 goals, 2 assists).
Those four goal involvements have come in his last three league games; he had no goals or assists in his previous 38 Premier League appearances before this.
)
10, Tottenham’s Richarlison is yet to score in 19 Premier League appearances for the club, despite attempting 19 shots with an xG total of 2.2.
However, the Brazilian did score in his only previous away appearance against Everton in the competition in November 2017 for Watford, and over half of his overall goals in the division have come at Goodison Park (52% - 25/48).
