Tottenham v Everton: Key stats and talking points
Everton look to continue their unbeaten start visiting a Tottenham side yet to win in the Premier League this season. BBC Sport examines some of the key themes going into their meeting in north London. When Spurs faced Everton in their final match of last season, they needed to win to stay in the division.
Tottenham and Everton are set to face off in a Premier League match held in north London. Last season, Tottenham narrowly avoided relegation with a 43rd-minute goal by Joao Palhinha securing a 1-0 win. This season, Tottenham has spent a net total of around £160 million on 10 new players in the transfer window, but their results have been disappointing, with only one point scored.
Everton, on the other hand, remains unbeaten at home so far this season. The Toffees have made just one change to their starting XI since the start of the season, with Brennan Johnson replacing Iliman Ndiaye during a recent match against Manchester United. Everton's young winger Tyrique George has been particularly impressive, scoring his first goal for the club in nearly eight years and creating several chances.
The match promises to be an interesting one, as Tottenham has never scored in their first four league games of a campaign before this season.
