Tottenham Seek First Premier League Win Against Everton

Tottenham still haven’t found a Premier League win to call their own this season. Not yet. Not even a goal.

A 3-0 opening-day dismantling by Brentford set an ugly tone, Spurs taken apart and outplayed in a flat, worrying display. The response at home was supposed to steady things. Instead, Newcastle United walked out of Tottenham Hotspur Stadium with a 2-0 victory and left the mood even darker in north London.

Roberto De Zerbi’s side did at least stop the bleeding last time out, grinding out a goalless draw with Nottingham Forest. A point, a clean sheet, a small foothold. But with Everton arriving on Saturday, that’s no longer enough. The demand now is clear: three points, and a first league win of the campaign.

How to watch Tottenham vs Everton

For those not making the trip to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, the game will be live on TV.

Kick-off is at 5.30pm UK time, with Sky Sports showing the match. Coverage starts from 5pm on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Football, giving supporters plenty of build-up before the action begins.

Big spend, small return

Tottenham threw around £300million at their squad in the summer after last season’s flirtation with relegation. The message was obvious: that kind of anxiety cannot become a habit.

Yet the early weeks have exposed a team still searching for rhythm. Spurs have lacked cohesion, especially in the final third, where they are still waiting for their first Premier League goal of the season. The talent is there on paper. On the pitch, the pieces haven’t clicked.

De Zerbi knows exactly what that means. With that level of investment, he needs more than promise. He needs a formula that wins matches, quickly.

Everton arrive with a steadier, if unspectacular, start: one win and two draws from their opening league fixtures, including a dramatic 2-2 with Manchester United last time out. They will not roll over.

History on Tottenham’s side

If Tottenham need something to cling to, it’s their home record against Everton. It is strong. Very strong.

Across their last 17 home league meetings with the Toffees, Spurs have lost just once. They have strung together five straight home wins in this fixture since a 1-0 defeat back in September 2020.

And there is recent, raw significance too. On the final day of last season, Tottenham beat Everton 1-0 at home, a result that ensured they stayed in the Premier League. Survival secured, just.

That memory will be fresh in the stands when Everton return this weekend. Spurs fans will want the same outcome, but for very different reasons this time: not to escape danger, but to finally ignite a season that has yet to get off the ground.
