Tottenham Hotspur face Everton while seeking their first goal of the season
Summary

Tottenham Hotspur enter their upcoming Premier League fixture against Everton searching for their first goal of the season. Through three matches, Tottenham have recorded two defeats and one draw, leaving the club in the bottom three of the standings. Manager Roberto De Zerbi deals with multiple injury concerns as Dejan Kulusevski, Xavi Simons, Wilson Odobert, and Mykhaylo Mudryk remain unavailable. Conversely, Everton arrive in north London unbeaten and sit eighth in the league table after drawing their previous two matches. Manager David Moyes has navigated an injury list including Christian Norgaard and potentially James Garner. While Tottenham historically maintain a strong home record against Everton, having won the last five meetings at home, their lack of offensive production creates uncertainty heading into the match.

It’s 18th v 9th in the table and we can expect goals goals and more goals. Oh, actually, scratch that the statto informs me that these two sides are the two worst teams for chance quality. Hmm. I knew there was a reason they gave me this one. Here’s a quick preview from Mr B Glendenning: Only the most pessimistic home fans at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium will be gripped by anything resembling the kind of dread, anxiety and outright terror that accompanied Everton’s visit on the final day of last season, but the return of David Moyes’ side so early in the current campaign will still make for nervous viewing.

In Everton, Spurs welcome a team whose record in this corner of north London is worse than any other top-flight side’s.
