Tottenham in a Period of Transition
Tottenham are lacking consistency this season after big recent personnel changes. Spurs made 10 first-team signings and transferred experienced players like Cristian Romero, Kevin Danso and Guglielmo Vicario.
Roberto De Zerbi’s side have struggled to adapt and are winless in their opening three Premier League games. Tottenham were comfortably beaten 3-0 at Brentford and lost 2-0 at home against Newcastle in the first two fixtures.
Spurs responded with a 0-0 draw at Nottingham Forest on Saturday. De Zerbi’s outfit failed to register a shot on target and faced 12 shots.
Everton Lacking an Away Threat
David Moyes’ Everton have one of the worst recent away records in the Premier League. The Merseysiders are winless in six consecutive games on the road, drawing three.
Everton are eighth in the 2026/27 Premier League table after a three-match unbeaten run. This streak started with a 2-0 home win over Crystal Palace.
The Toffees then came back from a goal down and drew 1-1 at Bournemouth. Moyes’ side were outplayed, allowing 2.15 XG, and James Tarkowski scored in injury time.
A 2-2 home draw against Man United followed. Everton trailed twice and late goals from Tyrique George and Ainsley Maitland-Niles earned a point.
