Everton eager to extend four-game unbeaten home run as Tottenham visits.

Following a defeat to Manchester City last time out, 12th placed Everton take on Spurs, as they look to bounce back to winning ways. Everton vs. Tottenham kicks off at 16:30 [GMT+1] on Sunday, October 26, at Hill Dickinson Stadium.

Sunday’s fixture pits David Moyes’ resurgent side against a Spurs team showing strong form on the road. The Toffees earned a thrilling 3-2 victory in their last meeting with Spurs and will be aiming for back-to-back wins over the North London club for the first time since December 2012, during Moyes’ first stint at the helm. Everton have been formidable at home under Moyes. This season, they remain unbeaten in all four home fixtures, marking their strongest start on Merseyside since the 2016–17 campaign, when they avoided defeat in their first eight home games. Defensive stability has been a key feature of Everton’s resurgence. Though they’ve gone five games without a clean sheet, they haven’t conceded more than twice in a match across their last 37 games—an extraordinary run unmatched since 1988. This consistency has given them a strong foundation, even against top-tier opposition. In attack, Iliman Ndiaye has emerged as a livewire presence. With 39 dribbles so far, only Mohammed Kudus (64) and Jérémy Doku (45) have completed more in the league. Ndiaye’s 5.2 dribbles per 90 minutes are the highest by an Everton player since Moise Kean in 2019–20, bringing flair and unpredictability to Moyes’ typically structured setup. A 4—2—3—1 formation with Beto in attack is expected against Spurs as Everton hope to bounce back to winning ways following last weekend’s 2-0 loss to Manchester City.

Spurs most recent visit to Everton ended in a dramatic 3-2 loss last January, a match that exposed their defensive fragility under pressure. Nevertheless, they remain the Premier League’s best away side this season, collecting 10 of their 14 points on the road (W3 D1). That’s 71% of their total, underlining how much more effective they’ve been outside North London. In addition, Spurs have also been dangerous from set pieces, with Rodrigo Bentancur’s recent goal against Aston Villa continuing their trend—only Arsenal (21) have scored more goals from corners over the past two seasons than Tottenham (13). Thomas Frank will be hoping his side’s away record counts for something when he deploys the 4—2—3—1 formation with Richarlison in attack. Riddled with injuries, as many as six players, including Randal Kolo Muani, James Maddison, and Dominic Solanke, remain on the treatment table for Spurs.
