Charlie Nicholas makes prediction for Everton - Tottenham match

Sky Sports football expert Charlie Nicholas thinks Everton will beat Tottenham at Goodison Park, 2-1. Pundit has explained his prediction. "This is the game. There is no doubt that Marco Silva is under the most extreme pressure and the only reason he is hanging on is because of his home record. Mauricio Pochettino can take another hit as they are in the Champions League." Nicolas wrote on Sky Sports. "They did not play too badly at Liverpool, but the Tottenham issues are in defence and going forward. Does he have the right balance? Does Dele Alli deserve to be in the team? Why is Lucas Moura not playing? Christian Eriksen is a passenger at the moment, so he doesn't belong in the team. There is too much confusion at Tottenham. The manager is not the problem but there is something within. "They have not signed players on longer-term contracts, like Toby Alderweireld and Jan Vertonghen. Danny Rose is an accident waiting to happen, while Serge Aurier has been a disaster. It will be an open game and Silva will pick an attacking team here. It is so hard to predict what will happen to either of these sides." he added.
