Tottenham are still without a goal, while Everton remain unbeaten: Tottenham vs Everton prediction
The Premier League fourth-round match between Tottenham and Everton will take place on 12 September at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The hosts have collected just one point and are yet to score in the league, while the visitors remain unbeaten after the opening three rounds.
Tottenham: first point secured, but still no first goal
Roberto De Zerbi's side began the season with defeats to Brentford 3-0 and Newcastle 2-0 before drawing 0-0 with Nottingham Forest. In their latest match, the London side had 59% possession and attempted 11 shots but failed to register a single effort on target.
Squad problems are also complicating matters. James Maddison is close to returning, but Dejan Kulusevski, Wilson Odobert, Xavi Simons and Mykhailo Mudryk remain unavailable.
Everton: steady start and five points
David Moyes's side began the league campaign with a 2-0 victory over Crystal Palace before drawing 1-1 with Bournemouth and 2-2 with Manchester United. In their latest match, Everton rescued a point thanks to a long-range goal from Ainsley Maitland-Niles.
However, away results remain a weakness for the Merseyside club, who are without a win in their last six Premier League matches on the road. In addition, their previous five visits to Tottenham have all ended in defeat.
Match facts and head-to-head record

The hosts can finally score, but a win may still be too much to expect: Tottenham vs Everton prediction
Tottenham are gradually improving and should push harder at home in search of their first league goal. The return of some players could also add more creativity to the side.
However, Everton have looked more consistent in terms of results and have handled tight finishes well so far. Even considering their poor away run, the Merseyside club are capable of leaving London with a point.
