Comments and predictions for Tottenham vs Everton: Crush the away team

Both teams looking to make amends from the opening weekend of the Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur and Everton go head-to-head in north London on Saturday afternoon.

The Lilywhites failed to capitalise on early dominance in a 1-1 draw with newly promoted Leicester City on Monday, while the Toffees were ripped apart by Brighton & Hove Albion in a 3-0 home defeat.

Latest Tottenham vs Everton team information

Before the final whistle of the match between Tottenham and Leicester, there was comforting news about Bentancur's condition, when the Uruguayan midfielder was confirmed to be conscious and talking, and did not need to be taken to hospital.

However, under concussion protocol, Bentancur will definitely miss Saturday's game, where Yves Bissouma - banned for Monday's draw for being filmed inhaling laughing gas - is likely to be a direct replacement in midfield.

Bentancur joins Fraser Forster (leg injury) in the treatment room, while goalscorer Porro also picked up a foot/ankle problem in the second half at the King Power, but Postecoglou did not update his status after the game.

While Porro is likely to be available for the weekend, Everton will certainly have to make a change at right-back following the red card of Young, who has been banned for one match, and Dyche is currently facing major problems at the back.

Nathan Patterson (thigh) is a definite absentee, while James Garner and Seamus Coleman are both doubtful with calf injuries, so Dyche may have no choice but to include Mason Holgate in the squad for the trip to north London.

The visitors' defensive situation has been further complicated by Jarrad Branthwaite's groin surgery, although the England international is likely to return to action soon, while Chermiti is still weeks away from recovering from foot surgery.

Latest Tottenham vs Everton match review

At 37, Jamie Vardy has kept up his habit of scoring against the Premier League's Big Six sides, as the Leicester City mainstay - who was not even expected to be in the squad on Monday - made Tottenham pay for missed chances and poor defending at the King Power Stadium.

Ange Postecoglou's men deservedly opened the scoring when former Foxes man James Maddison found Pedro Porro with a superb through ball, but Vardy took advantage of some poor defending from the visitors to head home an equaliser in the second half.

The low-scoring draw was overshadowed by Rodrigo Bentancur's serious head injury, although the lengthy stoppage actually helped Tottenham in some ways, as Leicester were pressing and threatening a second goal before the Uruguayan midfielder was given oxygen and taken off on a stretcher.

The failure to overcome last season's Championship winners means Tottenham now have just two wins in their last eight top-flight games, although since 2015-16 Saturday's hosts have not lost their opening two Premier League games.

Furthermore, Spurs have won their first home game in each of the last five top-flight seasons, the exception being a narrow defeat in September 2020, although it goes without saying who inflicted that defeat on the north Londoners.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin was the hero for Everton in the behind-closed-doors game at Tottenham Hotspur that day, but he and his team-mates could not stop Fabian Hurzeler's Brighton machine at Goodison Park last weekend.

Kaoru Mitoma, Danny Welbeck and Simon Adingra all scored against Sean Dyche's defence, and there was a further shock when veteran defender Ashley Young was shown a straight red card for a foul on the latter midway through the second half.

Having suffered their heaviest opening-day defeat, Everton now sit 20th in the Premier League table on goal difference, and Dyche could only describe the defeat to Brighton as a "horrible game" to watch.

The 3-0 defeat extended the Merseyside club's August woes, as they have not won a Premier League game in this month for three years, losing their last four without scoring a goal.

In another unsavoury statistic, Everton are yet to record an away win in the Premier League in the entirety of 2024 - losing seven and drawing four of their last 11 away games - and despite fighting back to earn a commendable 2-2 draw against Spurs earlier this year, that draw extended their winless run in this fixture to seven games.

Tottenham could have made it a point before half-time against Leicester, only to be their own worst enemy in front of goal, but the Lilywhites should easily make up for those mistakes on Saturday.

Faced with a defensive crisis and lacking veteran midfield options, Everton may be no match for Postecoglou's side as the Toffees' poor start continues.
