Everton and Tottenham desperately need points if they are going to stay in the race for a top-four Premier League finish and their clash at Goodison Park is the highlight of Friday's action.

Meanwhile, Reading, Peterborough and Cheltenham will be looking to boost their promotion prospects in the Football League.

Today's best accumulator bets

Bets to be placed by 6pm

Over 2.5 goals in Everton v Tottenham

Reading to beat Cardiff

Peterborough to beat Northampton

Cheltenham to beat Crawley

Everton and Tottenham shared nine goals in a FA Cup clash earlier in the season and both teams have to be positive at Goodison Park, while the desire to stay in the promotion race should prove hugely motivational for Reading, especially as Cardiff's own charge has recently faded.

Peterborough and Cheltenham should also land early blows as they maintain their push in Leagues One and Two.

Expect goals at Goodison Park. Tottenham have excellent strikers but they have conceded at least two goals in four of their last six games and Everton need to be positive too after just one win in their last nine on their own patch.

Bet of the day

Cheltenham to beat Crawley 6.30pm

Crawley have failed to win their last three home matches and that does not bode well for the visit of League Two leaders Cheltenham, who have lost just two of their last 11 games on their travels.

Cards bet of the day

Everton v Tottenham

Tottenham have to lift themselves at Everton after their poor performance against Manchester United on Sunday and it could turn into a physical encounter.

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg is Jose Mourinho's most confrontational player and the Danish midfielder could pick up his tenth card for his club in this campaign in the Goodison Park clash.

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg to be shown a card
