Everton travel to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in a bid to extend their impressive four-game unbeaten streak. At the same time, Spurs are still searching their maiden win of the Premier League season.
Everton rescued a significant point in a 2-2 draw last time out against Manchester United, with Ainsley Maitland-Niles’ 96th-minute leveler doing the job.
Tottenham, in stark contrast, have enjoyed only one win since the season’s start – a 5-1 thrashing of Charlton Athletic at the end of last month in the EFL Cup.
The Toffees have performed relatively better in terms of chance conversion this season, although back-to-back draws suggest otherwise. A significant part of their two opening wins this season has been striker Thierno Barry, who was one of just two players to feature in every Blues match in 2025/26.
Back Barry to channel his No.9 instincts

Tottenham have been toothless this term, failing to score in any of their opening three Premier League games. One more scoreless league outing and it sets an unwanted club record.
On the defensive front, they have rather improved week after week, having conceded three goals on the opening day to Brentford. Newcastle United then netted two past them in the subsequent round, before a goalless stalemate with Nottingham Forest
Amidst all this, Spurs host a Everton side high on confidence following their unbeaten start to the new season.
Thierno Barry’s second-half strike on the opening matchday sealed a 2-0 win over Crystal Palace.
He picked it up a notch in Everton’s first EFL Cup outing a few days later. Barry netted a fantastic hattrick and provided one assist in their 4-0 victory over Preston North End.
Tottenham have won 12 of their last 17 Premier League games at home to Everton (D4, L1), including each of the last five. While Everton are not favourites to win this clash, Barry’s presence will prove instrumental if Everton are to fulfil their odds of victory at 11/4 (3.75).

Thierno Barry to score or assist anytime – 21/10 (3.10) with Bet365 and Boyle Sports
Four of Everton’s nine goals across all competitions this campaign are courtesy of Barry, who is now on a two-game scoring drought. Scoring away from home has been one of his favourite exploits, with six of his last 11 goals coming in away victories. If he can channel his innermost instincts, Everton could be in for a rare win in North London.
