Sports Mole previews the Premier League match between top four contenders Everton and Tottenham.

Two contenders for the top four will face each other this Sunday as Everton take on Tottenham Hotspur at Goodison Park.

Everton would leapfrog Spurs in the table with a win, and could move as high as third depending on results elsewhere.

However, Andre Villas-Boas's men could also move up to third if they can extend their winning streak in the league to four games.

Everton will be looking to end their run of four games without a win, which includes 1-1 draws in their last three, but will have to do so without Phil Neville, who misses out through injury.

Spurs will be without talisman Gareth Bale, while Michael Dawson, Beniot Assou-Ekotto and Younes Kaboul are also struggling with injuries.

Everton won the corresponding tie 1-0 last season, although Spurs beat the Toffees 2-0 in the reverse fixture.
