The Toffees travel to White Hart Lane on Sunday in decent form of their own but must be sure to close down the main route that David Moyes' side utilise, the one to Fellaini either in the air or on the ground.

And Walker, while admitting the Belgian hitman is a dangerman, believes that Spurs can claim all three points if they continue to the play the same way they have in recent weeks.

"Marouane Fellaini is a real handful," the England right-back said. "He's mobile for a big guy, gets the ball down and they go through him.

"They've good players, lots of internationals and it will be difficult. Ever since I've played in the Premier League, Everton is always one of the tough games.

"But our centre-backs Jan (Vertonghen) and Steven (Caulker) are fantastic and hopefully if we can keep a clean sheet then Jermain (Defoe), Emmanuel Adebayor or Clint (Dempsey) can go and get us a goal.

"If we continue playing how we've been playing and those three keep scoring, then we've got every chance."
