We asked for your views on whether Tottenham playing at home on the final day of the season against Everton adds more concern?

Here are some of your comments:

Steven: Home form should not be taken as a marker for this game. It's a cup tie but with a draw the minimum requirement. We should look to win the game. In any other scenario, that's what we would be doing. A positive attitude is required from the fans and the squad. Forget the home form, the injuries, the potential consequences and focus on a performance with a single-minded determination to win. Nothing else.

Adam: Why is everyone so negative about Spurs? This game at home and the crowd behind the team should pull us to our goal.

Simon: This is a totally different sort of game, and you can't look back at previous form at home. Spurs are fighting for their very survival in the top flight, and they will be highly motivated not to create history for all the wrong reasons. Think of the damage to the players' reputations if they are seeking out. Yes, their home form has been abysmal up to now, but they will be going into this match to win it, not try to settle for a draw. I'm sure Everton will be out there to spoil the party, but what have they really got to play for?

Rick: Our home record in the past two years has been abysmal, give or take the odd decent result. Sunday really is do or die for this club. I'm going on Sunday with my two boys - win, lose or draw, we will always be shouting in the stands.

Peter: It shouldn't have come to this, but now our final fixture of the season against Everton is the most important game of our campaign. There can be no undue caution or petulance - we must be rock steady in defence, and throw everything at the final third. Sunday must deliver a glorious, Premier League-sustaining win!
