After playing out draws in their previous gameweek, both Tottenham and Everton will look to clinch three points when they face each other in their Premier League at the Tottenham Stadium on Saturday.
Spurs are in desperate need of a win after three games. They suffered losses against Brentford and Newcastle in their first two games and then played out a 0-0 draw against Nottingham Forest last week.
Meanwhile, Everton had a better start to this season with a win over Crystal Palace in the opening weekend followed by a 1-1 draw against Bournemouth. Last week's match against Manchester United ended in a 2-2 draw after a stunning equaliser late into the match by Ainsely Maitland-Niles.

Talking Points
Spurs' scoring woes
Three games played so far, zero goals scored. Spurs are one of the three teams along with Aston Villa and Coventry City who are yet to score a goal in the league. Tottenham were very much active in the transfer window, and it was expected that they would show improvements under Roberto De Zerbi this season after finishing 17th last term. However, despite bringing in attackers like Omar Marmoush and Sávio, Spurs are looking to hit the ground running in the goalscoring department.
Overall, Spurs have generated an xG of 2.86, taking 37 shots out of which 10 were on target. Marmoush had his chances in the games, especially against Forest but couldn't make it count. They are playing positive football under De Zerbi, which was expected but no goals in three games is not an ideal start to the season.
The season has just begun so there's a lot of time to put things right. De Zerbi will hope his team will find their scoring touch at home against Everton.
Everton show fight despite disappointing transfer window
The buildup to the Manchester United game was mostly about Everton's disappointing transfer window as David Moyes wanted more signings, but the management couldn't fulfil it. There was all the talk about a long and struggling season, however on the pitch, Everton fought and secured a thrilling draw.
It was the second time in two weeks that Everton salvaged a point from a goal in injury time. James Tarkowski did it against Bournemouth followed by Maitland-Niles' stunning leveller against the Red Devils. Tyrique George, who didn't play much last season, also impressed with a goal while Thierno Barry had his chances in the game.
Tougher challenges will come in terms of injuries and suspensions, but Everton have an experienced manager in Moyes, who can make his team competitive on the pitch despite limited resources. If he can maintain the standards and pull through till January, when they can add more players, it will be quite an achievement.
