What to watch for
If this season was meant to be a fresh start for Tottenham Hotspur, it hasn’t felt it so far. De Zerbi has cut a frustrated figure after disappointing results against Brentford, Newcastle United and Nottingham Forest with Spurs registering just one point for their efforts. A familiar malaise has quickly set in.
Tottenham have won their last five home meetings against Everton by a scoreline of 14-1. There is also hope that summer signings Omar Marmoush, Savinho and Sandro Tonali will demonstrate their best form as they start to settle in their new surroundings. Until that happens, though, Spurs may continue to toil.
Everton are attempting to overcome their own struggles. The summer transfer window was a slog with Moyes hinting at his displeasure at the business conducted by his own club. Nevertheless, the Toffees remain a dangerous outfit in transition and could trouble Spurs on the break as Brentford and Newcastle did.
Player to watch: Omar Marmoush, Tottenham Hotspur – Signed to lead the line for De Zerbi’s new-look Spurs side, Marmoush is under pressure to start finding the back of the net for a team still awaiting their first league goal. The Egyptian looked lively against Newcastle and Forest.
