Former Liverpool and Manchester United striker Michael Owen has predicted on Betvictor.com that Everton will not lose against Tottenham Hotspur this weekend.

Everton will take on Tottenham at Goodison Park in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.

Owen believes that the Toffees should pick up at least a point from the encounter.

“Another big game that is surprisingly being played in the traditional 3pm slot,” Owen wrote on Betvictor.com.

“Spurs will want to bounce back from their disappointing results against Chelsea and Burnley prior to the international break but The Blues are very solid on home soil and, with a partisan Goodison crowd behind them, can earn a share of the spoils at the very least.”

A footnote added: “Michael’s recommendation: Both Teams to Score at 7/10.”

Tottenham have a better team than Everton do, but the North London outfit have not made a great start to the season.

It is hard to see Spurs ease past the Toffees, but Mauricio Pochettino’s side do certainly have enough quality to bag all three points from the encounter.

Everton’s performances and results so far this campaign have not been great either, but Ronald Koeman’s side will be determined to give Tottenham a run for their money.

Meanwhile, Tottenham pair Fernando Llorente and Erik Lamela were snapped in training on Thursday.

Llorente joined Tottenham from Premier League rivals Swansea City in the summer transfer window, while Lamela has not played for 11 months due to hip injuries.
