Tottenham host Everton at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday, September 12, in matchweek four of the Premier League.Neither club is involved in Europe this season, Tottenham finished 17th last season and missed out entirely, while Everton were 13th, so this one is a straight domestic litmus test for two clubs heading in very different directions early on.Verdict: Everton (Draw No Bet)Best Odds: 2.70Bookmaker: 1xBetTottenhamRoberto De Zerbi’s first full season in charge has started badly.Tottenham sit 18th with a single point from three Premier League matches, having lost 0-3 at Brentford and 0-2 at home to Newcastle before salvaging a 0-0 draw at Nottingham Forest.That comes after a summer in which the club reportedly spent more than £350 million on ten new signings, and De Zerbi himself has publicly acknowledged the disconnect, saying you cannot just build a team with all the names like in Football Manager.This is a side still trying to find its identity under a new head coach, not the version of Tottenham the transfer business suggested.Tottenham Team NewsDe Zerbi gave a notably positive fitness update, confirming James Maddison and Savio are both back in training and available for selection, and describing the squad as effectively fully fit heading into this stretch of matches.EvertonDavid Moyes has Everton playing with real consistency early on.They sit 8th with 5 points from three matches, unbeaten in their last five across all competitions (two wins, three draws), including a 2-0 win over Crystal Palace and a hard-fought 1-1 draw away at Bournemouth.That is a considerably better start than Tottenham have managed, and it comes without the disruption of a new coaching appointment or a wholesale squad rebuild.Everton Team NewsNo significant Everton absences were confirmed in the sources checked for this preview beyond a minor fitness note on Christian Norgaard.Tottenham vs Everton Key Factors to ConsiderTottenham are 18th with 1 point from 3 Premier League matches, their worst start in years, despite a summer outlay reported at more than £350 million on ten new signings.Everton are unbeaten in their last five matches across all competitions (2W-3D), sitting 8th with 5 points from three games, a considerably stronger start than their hosts.Roberto De Zerbi gave a positive fitness update on September 4, with James Maddison and Savio both back in training and the squad described as effectively fully available.Tottenham have lost 2 of their opening 3 league games this season (0-3 at Brentford, 0-2 vs Newcastle), scoring zero goals in both defeats.This is a rare all-domestic weekend for both clubs, neither Tottenham nor Everton qualified for European football this season, so there is no midweek fatigue or rotation to factor in for either side.ConclusionThe form line here points away from the moneyline favorite.Tottenham’s home advantage is real, but a team with 1 point from 3 games and zero goals scored in their two defeats is not a side to back with confidence, even against opposition that missed out on Europe itself.Everton’s unbeaten run and greater defensive solidity make the Draw No Bet line, rather than the outright win, the more sensible way to back the form team without paying for a home upset that current results don’t support.Verdict: Everton (Draw No Bet)Best Odds: 2.70Bookmaker: 1xBetThe post Prediction: Tottenham vs Everton appeared first on SoccerNews.
