Tottenham Seek First Premier League Win Against Everton

Tottenham still haven’t tasted a Premier League win this season. The wait is starting to grate.

A 3-0 opening-day beating by Brentford set an uneasy tone, Spurs outplayed and out-thought in a flat, dispiriting display. The first home outing offered little comfort either, as Newcastle United arrived in north London and left with a controlled 2-0 victory at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Two games, two defeats, no goals. For a club that spent the summer throwing money at the problem, the silence in front of goal is deafening.

Roberto De Zerbi’s side at least stopped the bleeding last time out with a goalless draw against Nottingham Forest. A point, a clean sheet, a hint of stability. But a stalemate can only calm the nerves for so long. The pressure now sits squarely on turning that into a first win when David Moyes’ Everton come to town on Saturday.

How to watch Tottenham vs Everton

Kick-off is at 5.30pm UK time at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. For those not making the trip, the game is live on Sky Sports.

Sky will broadcast the match on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Football, with coverage beginning at 5pm. The cameras will be trained on a Spurs side that spent around £300million in the close season, desperate to banish memories of last year’s brush with relegation.

The spending has not yet translated into fluency. Spurs have lacked rhythm, particularly in attack, where they are still waiting for their first Premier League goal of the campaign. De Zerbi’s task is clear: turn the new signings and big outlay into a team that can actually win matches, not just dominate the transfer headlines.

Everton arrive with a steadier, if unspectacular, start behind them. Moyes’ men have one win and two draws from their opening league fixtures, including a dramatic 2-2 with Manchester United last time out that showed both their resilience and their vulnerability.

Spurs’ home comfort against Everton

If Tottenham need something to cling to, it is their record against Everton in this part of north London.

Across their last 17 home league meetings with the Toffees, Spurs have lost just once. They have strung together five straight home wins in the fixture since that solitary 1-0 defeat back in September 2020, turning this into one of their more reliable matchups.

The most recent chapter carried enormous weight. On the final day of last season, Tottenham’s 1-0 victory over Everton ensured they stayed in the Premier League, avoiding a disastrous relegation that had loomed over the campaign.

That afternoon felt like a narrow escape. This weekend, with the money spent, the expectations raised and the goals still missing, Spurs fans will expect something more than mere survival.
