The Hill Dickinson Stadium in Liverpool played host to a Premier League clash between Everton and Tottenham Hotspur this Sunday afternoon, with both teams aiming to find consistency after mixed starts to the season.

Everton, currently sitting in 14th place with 11 points, have shown resilience at home this season, making their ground a difficult place for visiting teams. However, they have struggled to maintain clean sheets, failing to do so in their last five matches. In their last match, Everton suffered a 2-0 loss against Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium. The Toffees' lineup included Jordan Pickford in goal, a defense of Vitaliy Mykolenko, Michael Keane, James Tarkowski and Jake O'Brien. The midfield featured Idrissa Gana Gueye, James Garner and Kieran Dewsbury-Hall, while the forward line was comprised of Jack Grealish, Beto and Iliman Ndiaye.

Tottenham, positioned 7th in the league with 14 points, have struggled to convert their dominance into consistent results, often dropping points after taking the lead. Their previous Premier League game saw them lose 2-1 at home to Aston Villa, and they followed that up with a 0-0 draw against AS Monaco in the Champions League.

Historically, Tottenham holds the advantage in Premier League encounters, with 31 wins compared to Everton's 10. However, Everton have proven to be tough opponents at home, losing only one of their last 12 league meetings in Liverpool. Their last encounter was a thrilling 3-2 victory for Everton.

Match statistics reveal that in their 54 previous encounters, Everton has won 10 matches, Tottenham 24, and 20 ended in a draw. In those matches, the teams have averaged 2.89 goals per game.

Both teams are looking to improve their form after the international break, with Everton losing their last Premier League match and Tottenham winless in both the league and Champions League.
