Overview
Hill Dickinson Stadium will host the match between Everton and Tottenham Hotspur.
Both teams have just suffered defeats in domestic matches after the international break in October and will strive to bring the season back on track.
After ending Crystal Palace's 19-match unbeaten streak, Everton lost 0-2 to Manchester City, with a double from Erling Haaland.
Meanwhile, Spurs failed to take advantage of the lead in the match against Aston Villa. The goals of Morgan Rogers and Monaco's replacement Emiliano Buendia in both sets extended their poor run under Thomas Frank.
Everton will enter this match with a more relaxed spirit, because Spurs just had a match in the Champions League in midweek. Tottenham drew 0-0 with AS Monaco at Stade Louis-II, largely thanks to the excellent performance of goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario.
Spurs will return to the Premier League with higher determination. Currently, they are the team with the most points away from home this season (10 points - 3 wins, 1 draw), accounting for 50% of the total points earned (10/14). In Premier League history, Tottenham have only won more than 13 points in their first five away games, in the 2020-2021 campaign (13 points).
However, Spurs' recent problem lies in their inability to maintain the pressure after taking the lead. Since the start of the 2024-2025 season, no team has lost more Premier League goalscorer games than Tottenham (8). In terms of coaches, Thomas Frank is third with 6 losses, after Fulham's Marco Silva (8 matches) and his predecessor Ange Postecoglou (7 matches).
During the same period, only Fulham (34 points) dropped more points from the lead than Spurs (32 points), equal to Brentford among the top teams.
Tottenham's challenge is even greater as Everton have not only adapted quickly to the new home ground but also revived strongly under the leadership of David Moyes in his second term at Merseyside.
Since the Scots returned to charge Everton in January, only six teams have won more Premier League points than the Toffees (42 points).
However, the defeat to a resurgent Manchester City shows that Everton still have a lot to improve. However, Everton will return home with great confidence. In addition, Spurs having to play in the middle of the week could give them an advantage.
Moyes's second term was built on restoring solidity in defence. Although Everton have gone 5 consecutive matches without keeping a clean sheet in all competitions, they have not conceded more than 2 goals in a match since a 0-4 defeat to Manchester United last December, extending a streak of 37 matches.
This is the longest period Everton have not conceded 3 goals in a match since May 1987 to February 1988 (46 matches).
Head-to-head record
Everton won 3-2 against Tottenham in their last Premier League meeting. They have not won consecutive times against Spurs since December 2012, during David Moyes' first term at the club.
Despite losing just one of their last 12 Premier League away games against Everton (W3 D 8), Spurs have failed to win in their last six visits to the Toffees (D5 L1). That included a 2-3 defeat in the match in January.
Score prediction: Everton 0-1 Tottenham
The match between Everton and Tottenham takes place at 11:30 p.m. on October 16 (Vietnam time).
