Tottenham Hotspur and Everton are set to face off in their first home game of the Premier League season. Both teams are eager to bounce back from disappointing starts and will be looking to secure a much-needed victory.
With Tottenham's new signing Dominic Solanke aiming to score his first goal for the club, this match promises to be a compelling encounter.

Tottenham dominated their recent match against Leicester City but failed to capitalise on their chances, with the game ending in a 1-1 draw.
Despite their control over the game, a late equaliser from Jamie Vardy left Spurs frustrated, so they will be hoping to get the first three points against Everton.

Tottenham is likely to be without Rodrigo Bentancur, who was substituted after appearing to be knocked unconscious during the Leicester game.
However, Yves Bissouma returns from suspension, and Richarlison is fit again, although Solanke is likely to start again following a promising debut.

Ashley Young is suspended for this match due to that red card, while Seamus Coleman and James Garner are likely to miss out due to injury.
However, Sean Dyche hopes to have Jarrad Branthwaite back in time for the game, should he not be sold to Liverpool as rumoured.
Players To Watch
Tottenham Player To Watch
Dominic Solanke will be keen to open his scoring account in his first home game for Tottenham.
After an impressive debut, he will be looking to lead the line and make a significant impact.
Everton Player To Watch
With Ashley Young suspended, the pressure will be on Jarrad Branthwaite, if fit, to step up and provide stability at the back. His performance could be crucial in keeping Everton in the game against a Spurs side with genuine firepower.
Prediction
Given Tottenham's home advantage and Everton's struggles, Spurs are the favourites to secure a win.
Solanke's debut home game could be the perfect setting for him to find the back of the net.
A 2-0 victory for Tottenham seems likely, with Everton potentially struggling to cope with Tottenham's threat going forward.
