Everton did not get off to the start that they would have hoped for, the blues were dismantled 0-3 by Brighton on their Premier League opener at Goodison Park which leaves them at the foot of the table.
Tottenham, on the other hand, were left frustrated despite a dominant performance in their opening game, as they were forced to share the points with Leicester City in a 1-1 draw.
Both sides will be disappointed with how their Gameweek 1 unfolded and they will be looking to reply with a win to kick-start either team's seasons.
The last time these two sides faced off, back in February, a goal in injury-time from Jarrad Branthwaite cancelled out former-blue Richarlison's brace to ensure that the points were shared in a 2-2 draw at Goodison Park.
Everton have a poor record at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium; since the ground opened in 2019, the Toffees have only managed to muster one win in six separate attempts with that singular win coming back in 2020.
The Toffees, however, will take inspiration from Tottenham's Monday night draw with Leicester as the away side struggled to break down the Foxes' low block - a system which Sean Dyche's Everton are familiar with.
- Team News
Tottenham:
Rodrigo Bentancur was forced off with a head injury in their match against Leicester and is, therefore, unlikely to feature on Saturday.
Pedro Porro, who opened the scoring in Tottenham's last game, is also unlikely to feature for the hosts, as he also went off injured with what appeared to be an ankle injury
There could be a debut for new summer-signing Wilson Odobert, who was signed from Burnley for around £30 million, as he did not feature on Monday night and has been in training this week.
In the place of Bentancur, Championship Young Player of the Season Archie Gray looks set to step in to make his very first Premier League start, he was signed from Leeds United in the summer for a reported £42 million.
Everton:
Jarrad Branthwaite, who scored the last time these two sides met, will be unavailable again as he continues to recover from a groin injury that saw him miss the opening game.
Everton boss Sean Dyche also confirmed that James Tarkowski is a doubt for Saturday's game, Tarkowski will face a late fitness test due to a 'hamstring niggle.'
The Toffees are without a fit right-back also, as Seamus Coleman and Nathan Patterson are both still out injured, whilst Ashley Young serves the first game of his three-match suspension after his red card against Brighton.
James Garner and Youssef Chermiti are both still out injured too, with Dyche mentioning in his press conference on Thursday afternoon that Everton only have "around 14 recognised first-team players" available for the trip to Tottenham.
- Likely Lineups
Tottenham: Vicario, Spence, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie, Sarr, Gray, Maddison, Johnson, Solanke, Son
Everton: Pickford, Holgate, Keane, O'Brien, Mykolenko, Gana Gueye, Iroegbunam, Harrison, McNeil, Doucoure, Calvert-Lewin
- Key Players
Tottenham - Dominic Solanke
Summer signing Dominic Solanke is definitely one to keep an eye on for Tottenham this season after his move from Bournemouth for £65 million.
Solanke, who scored 19 goals in the Premier League last season, did not find the net against Leicester on his debut but he will be eager to grab a goal in his first home game in front of his new supporters.
He managed to score when he last played against Everton, the Englishman bagged the opener in that game as he helped his former side Bournemouth defeat the Toffees 2-1 back in March.
Tottenham's new number 19 posses great strength and speed, alongside posing a major threat aerially whilst being a lethal finisher in front of goal and will be confident he can grab a goal against Everton's injury-ridden defence.
Everton - Tim Iroegbunam
Everton's new signing Tim Iroegbunam was a shining light in which was a dull performance from the blues against Brighton last Saturday.
Making his ninth ever appearance in the Premier League, Iroegbunam recorded 13 tackles and interceptions, 13 ball recoveries whilst also having 26 ball carries - very impressive stats from the 21 year old.
The former Aston Villa man won the ball back and drove the toffees up the field many times using his silky dribbling skills and brilliant tackling.
At such a young age and signed for a low fee of £9 million, he is one to watch for Everton and could be key for this game; especially as Tottenham's midfield may be of a similar age to him with Pape Matar Sarr and Gray (21 & 18 respectively) likely to start.
