Everton’s revival following a poor start to the season came a bit too late but nonetheless, the Toffees now have a good chance of capping off a difficult campaign on a high by finishing in the top half of the table.
Three points on the final day of the season against Tottenham Hotspur could well see Everton finish in 10th place in the table and while the prize on offer does not seem much, it would hand Roberto Martinez’s men a crucial boost ahead of next season.
Leighton Baines, Darron Gibson, Tony Hibbert, Bryan Oviedo and Steven Pienaar are all ruled out due to various injuries while Aaron Lennon is ineligible to feature against his parent club.

There have been a lot of positives from Mauricio Pochettino’s first season in charge as manager of Tottenham Hotspur but the fact of the matter remains that Spurs once again have fallen short in their ambition of claiming a top four finish.
Therefore, the fans will be expectant of Pochettino to guide Tottenham to Europe’s elite club competition next season and the pressure will be on the Argentinean to produce the goods.
As for the current campaign, a 5th place finish is a possibility with a win over Everton on the final day and Spurs will undoubtedly be going all out to claim the three points.
Kyle Walker and Ben Davies have been ruled out of the clash while Emmanuel Adebayor remains a doubt.
