Everton vs Tottenham preview: What time does it start, where can I watch it live?

A look ahead to the Premier League fixture at Goodison Park

Koeman is just one part of a new look Everton (Everton FC)

It’s a big game for…

Gareth Barry: Everton’s vice-captain statistically made more defensive errors than any other outfield player last season.

Now under a manager who is considered a superb defensive tactician, underlined by Southampton’s stalwart performances, the Toffee’s defence may find nobody to blame but themselves if they show the same lack of composure they did last season.

Best stat…

Everton have won only twice in their last ten games against Tottenham.

Remember when…

Everton routed Spurs 4-1 in the FA Cup semi-final before going on to win the trophy as underdogs, a harkening back to the Neville Southall years.

Player to watch…

Eric Dier: It’s uncommon these days for British players to be tapped up by continental clubs, in part due to the idea batted about that English football lacks the tactical depth of other top leagues.

The recent interest shown by Bayern Munich in Dier then, a player who himself is the product of a foreign academy, is a testament to the intelligent positioning and anticipation that have made him a key component of both the Tottenham and England squads.
