Tottenham Hotspur aim to shake off a disappointing draw with Everton must erase a brutal home opener as Week 2 asks plenty from both sides in North London (Watch live online at 10am ET Saturday, streaming via Premier League on Peacock).

Spurs surprised when they failed to take all three points at Leicester City in Week 1, and Everton were smashed at home by Brighton.

Spurs were dominant in the first half at Leicester City, and manager Ange Postecoglou lamented that his team weren’t comfortably ahead by halftime. Instead, a 1-0 lead turned into a draw through Jamie Vardy as Tottenham had to defend down the stretch against a newly-promoted side.

Everton was 2-0 down when Ashley Young was shown a red card in the 66th minute. While their 3-0 loss was a function of Brighton taking their chances in style, Toffees boss Sean Dyche won’t be accepting excuses given his defensive expectations.

New signing Dominic Solanke was tidy and solid with his 35 touches over 90 minutes, but will have expected more from his three shots than no goals. Heung-min Son and James Maddison were much busier with the ball, and Maddison assisted Pedro Porro’s goal and certainly wants to charge up the Premier League assist board.

Saturday was an off day for most of the Everton team, and pressure continues to weigh on Dominic Calvert-Lewin. His 0.01 xG+xA against Brighton — on just 20 touches — was so poor, and he needs to be more like the guy who scored four goals in his last seven games last season than the guy who has one goal every five or so matches since his 16-goal Premier League campaign in 2020-21.

It would appear that Tottenham’s no. 1 (and 2 and 3) objective this summer was to flip the age profile of the team, given the significant physical demands that Postecolgou’s system places upon players. New tires have more tread, and Ange intends to burn rubber. Lucas Bergvall, Wilson Odobert, Archie Gray and Yang Min-hyuk are four of Spurs’ five first-team signings (thus far), and all four are teenagers expected to contribute as subs early on and push for starting places by season’s end. Tottenham have operated in a very precise, targeted manner this summer, and it’s hard not to see the next generation of Tottenham coming together.

Leicester are back in the big time after winning the EFL Championship a year after being relegated from the Premier League in 2023, but they are back without the coach that guided them to promotion (Enzo Maresca went to Chelsea this summer) or the standout midfielder who chipped in 12 goals and 14 assists last season, as Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall also went to Chelsea.
