Monday Football Tips: Get stuck in to 14/1 Bet Builder at Goodison

James Tarkowski
James Tarkowski is being backed to give away a couple of fouls against Tottenham

Paul Higham starts the week with a big 14/1 Bet Builder for what should be a feisty encounter between Everton and Tottenham at Goodison Park.

  • Tarkowski 2+ fouls in three of last four

  • Romero 2+ fouls in 14 games this season

  • Gueye had 2+ fouls in last game against Spurs

  • Back 14/1 Bet Builder on fouls at Goodison Park


It's an odd game this one, with Spurs seemingly in disarray after getting rid of Antonio Conte yet they're the ones in fifth in the table visiting an Everton side still stuck in the bottom three.

Sean Dyche will be wary of Tottenham's players not exactly having a "new manager bounce" but trying to put on a performance to either prove Conte was wrong about them or to just prove a point with criticism ringing in their ears.

Mike Norman has our Everton v Tottenham betting preview right here, but we've got a player props bet to add to the mix with a Bet Builder on this crucial showdown at Goodison Park.

And luckily we don't have to pick a winner here as anything could happen in this one - Everton have won three of their four home league games under Dyche but have a rotten record against Spurs with just one win in 20.

The Toffees also are the lowest scorers in the league and if they don't keep a clean sheet they usualy ship two or more goals - and that's music to Harry Kane's ears as he's bagged 14 league goals against Everton with six braces.

But who knows what frame of mind Cristian Stellini will have Tottenham's players in, and if he'll decided to make wholesale changes or not.

You'd back Richarlison to be seriously involved in this game were he not injured and rated as doubtful - watch out though as if he's fit he'll be as fired up as they get.

He's 12/5 to score his first league goal for Spurs and 7/2 to get carded just in case - both wouldn't surprise you at all.

Fouls the way forward at Goodison

So we're not sure about the result, not too confident on goals, but Goodison will be rocking and there'll be no shortage of tackles flying in.

Dyche will send his side out to hit Spurs early and see just how up for the fight they are, and that means a few fouls will naturally be given away.

And two Everton players who we'll back to give 2+ fouls away each are James Tarkowski and Idrissa Gana Gueye at 5/6 and 21/10 respectively.

Back Tarkowski, Gueye, Romero 2+ & Kane 1+ fouls in Everton v Spurs @

14/1

Gueye had two fouls in the reverse fixture and three in his last game against Chelsea, while Tarkowski has 2+ fouls in three of his last four games and is going up against Kane, who knows how to win a foul shall we say.

Speaking of Kane, he's 4/9 to give away a foul, which he's done in nine out of his last 10 along with one against Everton last time.

And you just can't mention fouls in a Spurs game without Cristian Romero, who we just can't resist adding to our Bet Builder for 2+ fouls - which he's managed 14 times this season.

One of those 14 times came against Everton and he's another hot head who should respond by a fiery Goodison atmosphere and muscular approach by the hosts.
