Everton vs Tottenham LIVE: Result and reaction from Premier League after late drama
Cristian Stellini takes charge of Spurs in their first game since Conte’s departure against Sean Dyche’s Toffees
Tottenham Hotspur begin life after Antonio Conte with a trip to face Everton this evening.
Spurs elected to move on from the Italian manager during the international break a week after Conte labelled the club’s players as lacking in “fight” and “desire” in an explosive press conference that seemed destined to end his time in north London.
Interim boss Cristian Stellini has recent touchline experience, covering for Conte during a health-related absence earlier in the season, but faces a tough test first up against an Everton side strengthened under Sean Dyche.
With eight sides appearing to be in the relegation battle, a point or more against a visiting side in transition seems feasible and could be vital.
We will bring you all the action and updates from tonight's game in the live blog below:
Everton vs Tottenham Hotspur
EVERTON STARTING XI (4-5-1): Jordan Pickford; Seamus Coleman, Michael Keane, James Tarkowski, Ben Godfrey; Alex Iwobi, Abdoulaye Doucoure, Idrissa Gueye, Amadou Onana, Dwight McNeil; Demarai Gray.
Everton vs Tottenham Hotspur
It's been a chaotic few weeks for Spurs, with Antonio Conte being sacked during the international break due to his scathing interview following their draw with Southampton. Cristian Stellini is stepping in for him, and they can move up to third with a win today. He's taking over a side that have won just one of their last five outings in all competitions (D2 L2), and who squandered a 3-1 lead to draw 3-3 with the Saints in Conte's final match. As for Everton, they've slipped into the bottom three due to results over the weekend, but they'll move back out if they avoid defeat here. They've lost just three of their eight matches under Sean Dyche (W3 D2), and have won three of their four home games in that time, all by a 1-0 scoreline.
