Everton's unbeaten run at their new stadium ended in a dismal attacking display. After a disappointing loss to City last week, they returned home to the Hill Dickinson Stadium to face Spurs, who were coming off a loss to Aston Villa and a draw against Monaco.
Tottenham had only lost one of their last 12 Premier League away games against Everton, with a record of W3 D8. However, they were winless in their last six visits, with one loss being the 3-2 defeat in January.
Everton had won their last five Premier League matches played on Sundays, all under David Moyes since his return in January. The starting lineup saw Jack Grealish return, with Charly Alcaraz moving to the bench. This was the first time David Moyes could select his first-choice midfield since the draw with West Ham over a month ago.
No big surprises in the lineup
