Abdulhafiz TeslimEverton have a disappointing final-day record over the last decade, which will hardly fill David Moyes’ side with confidence heading into their clash with Tottenham.
The Toffees appear to have let their chance of qualifying for European football for the first time since 2017 slip through their fingers.
Moyes’ men now need a minor miracle on the final day, with several clubs above them needing to drop points.
As things stand, it looks increasingly likely Everton will have to wait until the 2026-27 campaign to mount another serious push for Europe, with a major summer rebuild required to strengthen what remains a thin squad.
Tottenham await Everton on Sunday for the final game of the season, but recent history does not paint a promising picture for the Toffees when it comes to final-day results.
What is Everton’s final-day record over the last 10 years?
Everton head into the game as underdogs to beat Tottenham, despite Spurs’ poor home form this season.
Twists and turns are expected across the Premier League on Sunday, with all 10 fixtures kicking off simultaneously at 4pm.
For whatever reason, some clubs consistently thrive on the final day of the season, while others struggle to finish strongly.
Everton certainly fall into the latter category.
From the 2015-16 season through to 2024-25, the Toffees have lost six of their last 10 final-day league matches, winning three and drawing one.
Those six defeats came against Arsenal (2016-17, 2021-22 and 2023-24), Manchester City (2020-21), Bournemouth (2019-20) and West Ham (2017-18).
Meanwhile, Everton’s three victories came against Norwich City (2015-16), Bournemouth (2022-23) and Newcastle United (2024-25).
What is Tottenham’s home record like this season?
With Everton now winless in six Premier League games and carrying a poor recent final-day record, supporters will be searching desperately for reasons to feel optimistic heading into Sunday.
One encouraging sign can be found in Tottenham’s home form this season, with Spurs struggling badly at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Tottenham have won just two of their 18 home league games this season, losing 10 and drawing six, collecting only 12 points in the process.
By comparison, Spurs have performed far better away from home, winning seven, drawing five and losing seven on their travels to collect 26 points.
Perhaps, then, Everton should be considered stronger favourites than many expect, as ending the season with a victory could provide a huge psychological boost heading into the summer.
