Everton FC goalkeeper Tim Howard keen to help the Blues taste victory in North London
Tim Howard, Everton FC[LNB]IT WAS in the middle of his most prolific season yet, so Jermaine Defoe was odds-on to bury his decisive penalty at Goodison Park last November.[LNB]Such was the diminutive forward's hot streak, there were groans all over Goodison Park when he picked up the ball and planted it on the spot before the Park End.[LNB]Never overly prone to optimism, few Evertonians could have predicted anything less than a last-gasp defeat to pour ice-cold water on their side's impressive performance.[LNB]Step forward Tim Howard. The American goalkeeper's stunning reflex save was the best from a penalty fans inside the Old Lady had witnessed in a long time.[LNB] Defoe went on to register 24 goals in a scintillating personal season, but Everton didn't look back either.[LNB]That hard-earned point was one of the catalysts which propelled David Moyes' side onto a run of form which saw them surge up the table.[LNB]Now the Everton boss will be hoping a fixture against Harry Redknapp's upwardly mobile Londoners can help him build on the optimism generated by a convincing derby win at Goodison on Sunday.[LNB]Although Moyes will be hoping to catch Spurs with energy levels at rock bottom after their leg-sapping Champions League away defeat by Inter Milan on Wednesday, he will be wary of a few things.
