Spurs: - WWLLD ------ LLWDL
Both out to right the wrongs of the opening Premier League gameweek, we and Everton square off in North London on Saturday afternoon. We failed to make the most of our early dominance in a 1-1 draw with newly-promoted Leicester City on Monday, while the Toffees were torn apart in a 3-0 home loss to Brighton & Hove Albion.
Spurs
At the ripe old age of 37, Vardy's penchant for scoring against the Premier League's Big Six remains alive and well, as the Leicester City talisman - who was not even expected to make the squad on Monday - made us pay for our wasted chances and woeful defending at the King Power Stadium.
We deservedly broke the deadlock when ex-Foxes playmaker Maddison found the run of Porro with a sublime inswinging cross, but Vardy then capitalised on some horrendous marking from us to nod home the leveller in the second half.
The low-scoring draw was overshadowed by a sickening head injury to Bentacur, although that lengthy stoppage actually aided us in a way, as Leicester were building up a head of steam and threatening a second before the Uruguayan was given oxygen and stretchered off.
Failure to overcome last season's Championship winners means that we now have just two victories to show from our last eight top-flight contests, although not since the 2015-16 campaign have we failed to win our opening two games of a Premier League season.
Furthermore, we have triumphed in our first home game in five of the last six top-flight seasons, the outlier being a slender defeat in September 2020, although there will be no big prize for guessing who inflicted that loss on us
Everton.
On that day, Calvert-Lewin was the hero for Everton behind closed doors at our Stadium, but he and his teammates were all powerless to quell Fabian Hurzele’s Brighton juggernaut at a gloomy Goodison Park last weekend.
On account of suffering the heaviest defeat of the opening weekend, Everton are already residing in 20th place in the EPL on goal difference, and Dyche could only describe the Brighton battering as a "horrible game" to witness.
That 3-0 humbling prolonged an August hoodoo for the Merseyside club, who have now gone three years without winning a Premier League match in the current month, losing each of their last four without finding the back of the net in any of them.
Another statistic that makes for unpleasant reading, Everton are still without an away Premier League victory in the whole of 2024 - losing seven and drawing four of their last 11 on the road - and despite fighting back to earn a creditable 2-2 draw versus us earlier this year, that stalemate stretched their winless run in this fixture to seven matches.
