Tottenham will look to win their opening home game of the season to start their push for the Champions League against Everton this weekend.
Spurs were held to a 1-1 draw against Leicester on Monday despite dominating the majority of the game and carving out plenty of chances.
But it was a similar story to last year for Ange Postecoglou's men, who had their weak underbelly exposed by Jamie Vardy.
However, Tottenham will be hopeful of picking up three points against an Everton team that struggled on the opening weekend.
The Toffees were thrashed 3-0 at home by Brighton and ended the game with ten men after Ashley Young was sent off.
It was an awful start to the campaign for Sean Dyche's side, and he will hope to see huge improvement as Everton travel to north London.
Tottenham vs Everton: Dom's not so dream debut
Tottenham started new £65 million man Dominic Solanke against Leicester, and it wasn't the dream debut he was hoping for.
The English striker had a few glorious opportunities to get himself off the mark in a Spurs shirt, but he couldn't take them.
Overall, Solanke had three shots, all on target, and he should have scored at least one.
Of course, it's good he was getting into those positions to score in the first place, and there should be no panic at all from anyone connected with Spurs.
However, he'll want to get off the mark soon, and Everton at home should be the perfect chance to do just that.
Tottenham have scored more Premier League goals against Everton both overall (102) and at home (63) than they have vs any other opponent.
Everton have won just one of their last 23 Premier League games against Tottenham (D11 L11), a 1-0 away win in September 2020 under Carlo Ancelotti.
Everton have won just three of their last 20 Premier League away games against London sides (D6 L11), with those three wins all coming consecutively between September and November last season.

Everton haven’t won a Premier League game in the month of August in any of the last three seasons (D3 L6), losing each of their last four such games without scoring. Their last such victory was in 2021 at Brighton (2-0).
Tottenham have won their first Premier League home match in five of the last six seasons, with the only exception being a 1-0 defeat to Everton in 2020-21.
Everton lost their opening Premier League match against Brighton, and started both the 2022-23 and 2023-24 campaigns with consecutive defeats. The only team to lose their opening two games in three consecutive Premier League campaigns (not including those who suffered relegation in between) are Bournemouth (2015-16, 2016-17 and 2017-18).
Tottenham vs Everton: Team news
The hosts will be without Rodrigo Bentancur in line with the Premier League's concussion rules after the midfielder suffered a horrible head injury against Leicester.
Pedro Porro is also doubtful after he was subbed off late on against the Foxes with a foot problem, but was spotted by fans in a training video posted by the club.
Yves Bissouma is back after the club banned him from their opening Premier League game.
The midfielder was suspended after he uploaded a video of himself inhaling laughing gas.
Young will be suspended for the Toffees after he hauled Kaoru Mitoma down as he ran through on goal, so the former England man will serve a one-match ban.
This leaves the Toffees very short at right-back due to Seamus Coleman and Nathan Patterson being injured.
James Garner, who can play there, has a calf problem and is set to miss out.
But they will hope Jarrad Branthwaite is fit after the centre-back missed the 3-0 defeat to Brighton.
After winning four consecutive Premier League away games between October and December last season, Everton are now winless in their last 11 on the road (D4 L7). Nine of those have come in 2024, leaving the Toffees as the only ever-present side over the two campaigns without an away win this calendar year.
Tottenham drew 1-1 with Leicester in their opening Premier League match of 2024-25 – the last time they failed to win either of their first two games in a single campaign was 2015-16 (D1 L1).
Against no side does Tottenham midfielder James Maddison have more Premier League assists than he does against Everton (4), with each of his four against the Toffees coming in his last three appearances.
Since joining Tottenham from Everton in 2022, Richarlison has scored three Premier League goals against the Toffees, with all three coming in last season’s two meetings. Of players to have previously played for Everton in the competition, only Wayne Rooney (4) has scored more against them than the Brazilian.
Tottenham vs Everton: What has been said?
Speaking after the draw with Leicester, Postecoglou slammed Spurs' wastefulness in front of goal.
In an interview with talkSPORT's Sam Matterface, he said: "I thought we started the second half well, I think for 15 minutes we were on top.
"We were just really wasteful in front of goal, we just didn't take the opportunities.
"We weren't clinical enough, we made some poor decisions, we lacked composure in and around the box.
"And in a game of football, it's always a danger that the opposition will go up once and score and that's exactly what happened.
"They get a bit of momentum from that and we lost a bit of composure and finished strong.
"But like I said, you can't keep giving up chances like we did tonight and hope to get a better outcome."
