Hello and welcome to the MBM of Tottenham Hotspur v Everton. It’s 18th v 9th in the table and we can expect goals goals and more goals. Oh, actually, scratch that the statto informs me that these two sides are the two worst teams for chance quality. Hmm. I knew there was a reason they gave me this one.
Here’s a quick preview from Mr B Glendenning:
Only the most pessimistic home fans at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium will be gripped by anything resembling the kind of dread, anxiety and outright terror that accompanied Everton’s visit on the final day of last season, but the return of David Moyes’ side so early in the current campaign will still make for nervous viewing. With no goals and just one point on the board after three league games, fan faith in Roberto De Zerbi – and the hundreds of millions of pounds lavished upon new signings – has created a prevailing presumption that Tottenham will soon start firing on at least some, if not all, cylinders. In Everton, Spurs welcome a team whose record in this corner of north London is worse than any other top-flight side’s. Should they fail to beat a team who have taken just seven points from the past 51 available to them away at Tottenham, the sounds of early but outright mutiny are likely to be audible from the stands.”
Kick off 5.30pm
