Tottenham vs Everton: TV Details and Expectations for Spurs

Tottenham Hotspur are still waiting. Three games into their Premier League campaign and a club that spent big in the summer is yet to taste victory – or even score a league goal.

The season opened with a jolt: a 3-0 defeat at Brentford that exposed a side short of rhythm and sharpness. Any hope of an instant response in front of their own fans faded quickly. Newcastle United arrived at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and left with a controlled 2-0 win, leaving the home crowd restless and the questions growing louder.

Roberto De Zerbi has at least nudged his team onto the board. A goalless draw with Nottingham Forest finally delivered their first point of the season, but it did little to ease the sense of urgency. A squad rebuilt at a cost of around £300million over the summer, fresh from a “ridiculous flirtation with relegation” last term, was never assembled to grind out stalemates. It was built to win – and to win now.

That is the backdrop as David Moyes’ Everton head to north London on Saturday.

How to watch Tottenham vs Everton on TV

For supporters not making the trip to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, the game will be live on television in the UK.

Kick-off is at 5.30pm (UK time) on Saturday. Sky Sports will show the match on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Football, with coverage beginning at 5pm.

Spurs’ struggle for fluency

For all the money spent, Tottenham’s attack has yet to click. The patterns are disjointed, the final ball often rushed or overplayed, and the scoreboard still stubbornly blank in the Premier League.

De Zerbi knows he must quickly find a formula that turns possession into points. With that kind of transfer outlay, patience is always in short supply. The visit of Everton, who have started more steadily with one win and two draws, including a dramatic 2-2 against Manchester United last time out, only sharpens the spotlight.

Everton arrive with their own ambitions, but they also walk into a stadium where history leans heavily in Tottenham’s favour.

A fixture Spurs usually own

Tottenham’s home record against Everton offers one clear positive for the hosts. Across their last 17 league meetings in north London, Spurs have lost just once. They have strung together five straight home wins over the Toffees since a 1-0 defeat in September 2020.

The most recent of those victories carried huge significance. On the final day of last season, Tottenham’s 1-0 win over Everton ensured they avoided relegation, a grim scenario that had loomed over the run-in. That result kept them in the division and underlined just how precarious things had become.

Now the stakes are different but no less intense. The wait for a first league win, the silence of a goal-shy attack, the weight of a £300m rebuild – it all funnels into one simple demand this weekend: can Spurs turn history and home advantage into the three points they so badly need?
