Everton welcome Tottenham Hotspur to the Hill Dickinson Stadium on Sunday for a Premier League clash, with the Toffees unbeaten at home this season and Spurs strong on the road. Tottenham sit sixth with 14 points, while Everton are 12th on 11 points. Both teams have injury concerns ahead of the fixture.
The match on October 26, 2025, kicks off at 4:30 p.m. local time at Everton's new Hill Dickinson Stadium in Liverpool. Everton have taken eight points from their four home games this season, remaining unbeaten and matching their longest such start since 2016-17 when they went eight games without defeat at Goodison Park. Tottenham, meanwhile, lead the league in away points with 10 from four games (three wins, one draw), unbeaten on the road and claiming 71% of their total points there.
Recent Form
Everton sit 12th after a 2-0 loss to Manchester City last weekend, but they have won their last five Premier League matches played on Sundays, all under manager David Moyes since his return in January. Tottenham are sixth on 14 points following a 2-1 home defeat to Aston Villa, where Rodrigo Bentancur scored from a corner—their 13 corner goals over the last two seasons trail only Arsenal's 21. Spurs drew 0-0 with Monaco in the Champions League midweek, earning a clean sheet thanks to Guglielmo Vicario's performance, but they have just one win from their last four league games.
Head-to-head, Everton won the reverse fixture 3-2 in January, and Tottenham have not beaten the Toffees away since December 2018, going winless in their last six visits (five draws, one loss).
Team News and Injuries
Everton receive a boost with Jack Grealish returning after missing the Manchester City game due to ineligibility. However, Jarrad Branthwaite faces surgery for a hamstring injury and is out indefinitely, while Nathan Patterson is sidelined for weeks with a foot problem and hernia.
