Tottenham Hotspur face Everton on Sunday in a game that could decide their relegation fate.

A season full of misery all comes down to one final 90 minutes when Spurs face the Toffees this weekend.

Either a draw or a win would be enough for Spurs to secure their spot in the Premier League for another campaign, while a defeat may even be enough if West Ham fail to beat Leeds.

Given the goals that he has scored this season, Richarlison will have a huge part to play in Sunday’s encounter with his former club.

Though the Brazilian may have the best of both worlds if he can get on the scoresheet for Tottenham again.

Richarlison unlikely to suffer at Tottenham in either scenario

Let’s face it, without his goals, Tottenham would have been relegated a long time ago, and this game would be a dead rubber.

The 29-year-old has 11 goals and four assists in the Premier League, which is seven more than any other player in the squad.

All of that is from just 8.03 xG, showcasing how well he has done when it comes to taking chances when they come.

However, with Richarlison previously linked with a move to Everton, it could also be a chance for him to enter the shop window against the Toffees, providing him with a potential Premier League lifeline even in the event of relegation.

With that said, the Brazilian will have another crucial role to play for Spurs next season if they are to avoid it, leaving him with two very good options.

What is Richarlison’s record against Everton?

Fortunately for Tottenham, Richarlison has certainly enjoyed his previous encounters with the Toffees, having won five out of the eight.

He has managed five goals and an assist in those games, with his most recent one coming in the reverse fixture this season.

Richarlison registered an assist in a 3-0 win away at Hill Dickinson, with Micky van de Ven scoring twice.

Tottenham have lost just one of their last 10 encounters with Everton, while also having won five of them.
