Tottenham's miserable 2025-26 has spilled into the new season with Roberto De Zerbi's men looking for a first goal at home to Everton.

Spurs are 18th with a solitary point on the board, four points fewer than Everton who are unbeaten.

The North London side have a good record in this fixture yet it is Everton who are the more bullish taking to the pitch at what could be a nervy Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Team news

James Maddison and Mohamed Kudus are pushing for starts after lay-offs as they seek to boost Tottenham in attack.

Mykhailo Mudryk and Dejan Kulusevski are still out, while Richarlison appears to be out of favour with Roberto de Zerbi.

David Moyes has hinted that Jack Grealish could make his first start on his Toffees' return after coming off the bench against Manchester United.

James Garner, who limped out of that 2-2 draw, should be fit to play although Christian Norgaard is missing.

The stats

Spurs go into Week Four as one of just three teams in the Premier League who have yet to find the net.

Only the two Manchester clubs (19 each) have had more shots on target than Everton (18) after three games. 

Spurs might not have won a game but they are doing their share of attacking, averaging a league-high 7.3 corners per game. Their matches are averaging 12.7 corners a time, again a Premier League-high total.

The last six fixtures between these sides have produced 84 corners at 14 per game, with no game delivering less than 11 corners.

Six Premier League players are averaging over three fouls per 90 minutes - four of them could be in action in this game. They are: Brennan Johnson (3.6), Mateus Fernandes (3.2), Rodrigo Bentancur (3.2) and Omar Marmoush (3.1).

Prediction

Tottenham, a team who could not even muster a single shot on target in last week's 0-0 draw at Nottingham Forest, make almost no appeal at 10/11 at home to Everton.

It is true they have a fantastic record at home to the Toffees, winning each of their last five showdowns in North London.

But this is a different season and it is very hard to know quite what to make of Spurs other than they do not score goals - played three, goals none is a pretty sorry stat.

Everton, in contrast, are unbeaten and back-to-back draws at Bournemouth (1-1) and at home to Manchester United (2-2) are good outcomes from difficult assignments.

This ought to be a good game between a Spurs team who have to be positive and an Everton team who have to be feeling pretty good.

Maybe consider a Bet Builder where this fixture's rich recent history of piling up corners comes into play.

There have been at least 11 corners in each of the last six league showdowns between these clubs so make over 10.5 corners the first leg.

For leg two, look at Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall getting at least one shot on target.

The ex-Leicester man has had nine shots in three outings, finding the net in the 2-0 win over Palace.

And finally, if this game produces corners, it should also produce fouls. Some serial bad boys could be lined up including Rodrigo Bentancur who has committed eight fouls at 3.2 fouls per 90 minutes.

Back the Uruguayan enforcer to cross the line over 2.5 times. It is a Bet Builder which would pay out at 9/1 with LiveScore Bet if successful.

Score prediction: Tottenham 1-1 Everton

Back Over 10.5 Corners, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall Over 0.5 Shots on Target, Rodrigo Bentancur Over 2.5 Fouls - Bet Builder at 9/1 with LiveScore Bet.
