Spurs fans will not like Harry Redknapp’s prediction on how he expects the game between Everton and Tottenham to unfold.
Thomas Frank’s men are short of confidence heading into their first-ever game at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.
More than one Spurs player has questioned the team’s mentality following their struggles against Monaco in mid-week, which is not a good sign so early into the season.
Additionally, Tottenham could be without nine first-team players for their trip to Merseyside, and Redknapp has now made a grim prediction ahead of the game.
Harry Redknapp expects Tottenham to lose again on Sunday
Spurs have struggled at home in the Premier League this season, but they have a formidable record away from home, remaining unbeaten in their four matches so far.
However, Redknapp expects that streak to end, predicting that the Toffees will hand Frank his first away defeat as Tottenham boss.
The former Spurs manager said about Sunday’s clash to BetVictor: “A tricky one to call. Everton made it difficult for City last week, but truth be told, they never looked like winning that one. They’ve been good at home so far, though, and they’ll fancy this against a Spurs side that are a little out of form.
“Spurs made such a great start to the season, but they’ve been out of sorts in the last few weeks, and all of a sudden, they could do with a good win. I didn’t think they were great against Villa, or in Monaco the other night.”
Prediction: Everton 2-1 Tottenham.
Redknapp backs Spurs-linked player to shine
According to reports in the summer, Jack Grealish was willing to join Tottenham, but the Lilywhites decided against signing the winger.
The England international has been outstanding since his loan move Everton, and Redknapp identified him as the danger man for the North London side.
When asked to pick his player to watch in the clash at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, the 78-year-old said: “Jack Grealish. He obviously couldn’t face his parent side last week, and Everton missed Grealish. He’ll want to get back to business here.”
