Lawro's Prediction for Everton v Blackburn Blackburn had an outstanding result last weekend to beat Fulham with 10 men. As I keep saying, every time I've seen them they have been in every game, have always had chances and have suffered very few heavy defeats. They are dogged and determined and there is no question they are playing for their manager Steve Kean despite the stick he has been getting. But this is an Everton team that could do with a bit of good news themselves at the moment after a few iffy performances, and a comfortable home win is definitely within them if they do find some form. The other thing about Blackburn is whether defender Chris Samba plays after handing in a transfer request, because he is a very influential player for them. I'm interested in seeing where Samba does end up if Rovers do sell him, because he is what I would describe as a really good 'head it, kick it, clear it' centre-back and I don't think he is great on the ball. Tottenham are supposed to have their eye on him, but I'm not sure that a team which will be playing in the Champions League will want him, because what happens to players like him there is that they get singled out. Opposing teams at the very top level would let him have the ball because there is as much chance of him passing the ball to the opposition as there is to a team-mate. Prediction: Everton 2-0 Blackburn

Lawro's Prediction for Aston Villa v Everton Both these clubs are very much mid-table material in the Premier League and look like staying there - they seem to be drifting in no-man's land at the moment. Villa have signed Robbie Keane on loan from Los Angeles Galaxy, which will give them another option up front, but they have definitely become a selling club. On that note, there have been plenty of rumours that Darren Bent will be leaving Villa this month but I cannot see where he is going to go, especially if you think that they paid Sunderland more than £18m for him this time last year and will probably want their money back. Everton are treading water too, and they are really fortunate that they have such a top manager in David Moyes. If he wakes up one morning and decides he is sick of banging his head against a brick wall every day, they are in big trouble. I saw Moyes being interviewed after Wednesday's defeat by Tottenham and felt his frustration. I got the feeling he is wondering where he goes from here. I am a big fan of his and he has done an outstanding job but every time people talk about Everton, it is all about how they cannot compete financially. Bringing in Darron Gibson from Manchester United for £2m would be a decent buy at that price, because they need to replace Mikel Arteta, but all Moyes can do at the moment is shop around for bargains like that. As for the game, it will be tight. Moyes will gee his players up after the Spurs match, while with Villa you are never quite sure what you are going to get. They were poor in their last home league game against Swansea but comfortable in their FA Cup win over Bristol Rovers. Because they have home advantage I think they might just sneak this one, although I think Everton might end up a couple of places above Villa come May, if only because I think that even on a bad day they remain very competitive.

HARRY ON TOFFEES Harry Redknapp expects tomorrow night's clash against Everton to follow a similar pattern to recent home matches in the Premier League. Sunderland and West Brom provided stubborn opposition at the Lane and both games were decided by a single goal. Roman Pavlyuchenko broke the deadlock against Sunderland on December 18 and Jermain Defoe did the trick last time out against West Brom, both 1-0 wins. Always one of the toughest nuts to crack, Everton travel down from Merseyside having conceded 22 goals in 19 matches in the Premier League. They were on a run of four unbeaten before Bolton produced a somewhat surprise 2-1 win at Goodison on January 4. "You'll never get an easy game against Everton," said Harry. "David Moyes does a great job there year in, year out. "It's a difficult game, they always put a shift in and they also have dangerous players. "I'm sure it will be a tight game, just like it was against Sunderland and West Brom. We took a long time to break them down and I wouldn't expect this to be any different. It's another tough game for us." This is our game in hand in the Premier League and it has stirred memories of why the match was initially postponed back in August following the riots in the area. Harry added: “I've always been impressed with the contribution the Club has and continues to make to the local area through the Tottenham Hotspur Foundation. Their work has become even more important since the riots in August. We were all left shocked by the events that took place in Tottenham and the impact it had on the local community. The Club, through the Foundation, have been committed to supporting the area both financially and in lending a hand on a practical level and hopefully time has been a great healer. “Our rescheduled fixture with Everton takes place tomorrow and it is important to remember the vital work the Club continues to carry out. Hopefully we never have to witness scenes of this nature again in Tottenham or any other part of the country. “Football and sport as a whole provides inspiration for young people and this is the vehicle the Foundation uses to get across to young people and help them realise their potential. The players play an active part in this by going out on a weekly basis to support local projects and this is something we should look to continue and increase in 2012."

TEAM NEWS Michael Dawson is set to partner Younes Kaboul in the Spurs defence with Ledley King and William Gallas both out injured. Scott Parker is set for a late fitness test but fellow midfielder Sandro is out with a calf problem. Phil Jagielka, Tim Cahill, Leon Osman, Jack Rodwell and Tony Hibbert are all injury worries for Everton. Seamus Coleman is another doubt after suffering a recurrence of a thigh injury in the FA Cup tie with Tamworth. MATCH PREVIEW What should have been the season's curtain raiser for both clubs could now be recast as a campaign-defining game for Spurs. Victory in a fixture postponed due to August's riots would see Tottenham draw level with Manchester United - just three points shy of leaders Manchester City - and confirm them as equal partners in a three-way race for the title. The game will also offer an important indicator as to whether Spurs have deep enough playing resources to sustain a challenge. Injuries to key players mean Harry Redknapp will be denied the luxury of fielding his strongest XI. While no-one can doubt the quality of his first-choice side, it remains to be seen whether the supporting cast are good enough to keep Tottenham in the hunt. They will meet substantial resistance in the shape of an Everton side that badly needs a response to a limp performance against Bolton in their last league game. David Moyes' men will be determined to rediscover the discipline and organisation which has seen them repeatedly punch above the club's declining financial weight in the Premier League. Their manager also has an impressive record against Redknapp. All points to a tight affair at the Lane. MATCH FACTS Head-to-head Everton manager David Moyes has only lost three of 15 league matches against teams managed by Harry Redknapp. Spurs have beaten Everton just once in their last eight Premier League games - a 2-1 victory at White Hart Lane in February 2010. Tottenham Hotspur Spurs have won 13 of their first 19 league games - the only time they won more was in 1960-61 (17) when they won the league. Tottenham have scored in 18 consecutive Premier League games - their best record in the league era. Harry Redknapp's side are unbeaten in eight home league games since August's 5-1 defeat by Manchester City. They have kept seven clean sheets in the league this season - one less than they kept during the entire 2010-11 Premier League campaign. Spurs have conceded 999 Premier League goals. Everton David Moyes is one short of his 150th Premier League victory as Everton manager. He will become the fourth manager to reach this milestone in the division after Sir Alex Ferguson (486), Arsene Wenger (337) and Harry Redknapp (220). The Toffees have won more games away from home in the Premier League (four) than at Goodison (three) this season. Everton have failed to win any of their nine league games against top-half clubs this season (two draws and seven defeats) - the worst record in the division. Tim Howard is in line to make his 250th Premier League start.
