At 22:00 on August 24th, Tottenham will host Everton in the second round of the Premier League. Both teams failed to win in the first round. Tottenham, playing at home, are aiming for their first win of the season, while Everton, who suffered a 3-0 defeat in the first round, are hoping to regroup.
In the first round, Tottenham drew 1-1 away to Leicester City. This will be their first home game of the season. Facing Everton, a team with weaker strength and form, Tottenham are hoping for a win. In the last season, Tottenham finished 5th, just 2 points behind Aston Villa. This season, the team will go all out to secure Champions League qualification.
Tottenham has made significant investments in the summer transfer window, including the signing of Berrwa for €10 million, Archie Gray for €41.25 million, Solanke for €64.3 million, and Odobert for €29.3 million. Notable departures include Emerson, sold to AC Milan for €15 million, and Skipp, sold to Leicester City for €23.5 million.
Last season, Everton was deducted 8 points for violating the PSR (Profitability and Sustainability Rules), but ultimately managed to stay up. As an established Premier League club, Everton has fallen into the relegation zone in recent years. In the first game of this season, Everton suffered a 0-3 defeat at home to Brighton, finishing as bottom of the table, sending an early warning to the team.
Everton’s investment this summer has been modest, with main signings including Ilogbune for €10.7 million, Ndiaye for €18 million, and O’Brien for €19.5 million. In terms of departures, Godfrey was sold to Atalanta for €12 million, Dobbin was sold to Aston Villa for €11.8 million, and Onana was sold to Aston Villa for €59.35 million. The team’s overall strength has weakened.
However, the bad news for the home team is that their new signing, striker Solanke, has suffered an injury and will miss the game, according to the coach. Midfielder Bentancur is also expected to be out due to injury. In addition, Everton’s Ashley Young will be suspended due to a red card.
In past clashes, Tottenham has a significant advantage with 62 wins, 52 draws, and 47 losses. In Tottenham’s home games, the two teams have faced each other 70 times with Tottenham leading by a large margin with 42 wins, 23 draws, and 15 losses.
