Saturday’s Premier League action concludes at White Hart Lane where Tottenham Hotspur face Everton.

The hosts are yet to win the season, taking two points from their opening three games to leave them in sixteenth place.

They have won just one of their last four league games in front of their own fans, while of their last ten games they have kept a clean sheet just once.

Christian Eriksen remains out with the knee injury that kept him out of last weekend’s draw at Leicester City, though Andros Townsed could return. New signing Heung-min Son is unlikely to receive international clearance in time to feature.

Harry Kane is favourite to get the first goal of the game at 5.0 (4/1) with Coral, with Nacer Chadli a 8.5 (15/2) chance with a variety of firms.

The home win is widely available at 2.0 (1/1), with the visitors as highly priced as the 4.33 (10/3) on offer from Coral. The draw can be backed at 3.7 (27/10).

The Toffees have twice as many points as their opponents after drawing one and winning one of their three games, while the suffered a 2-0 defeat to leaders Manchester City last weekend.

Roberto Martinez has no fresh injury concerns, with Brendan Galloway expected to remain out with the knee injury he picked up against City. Leighton Baines, Stephen Pienaar, Darron Gibson and Tony Hibbert remain side-lined.

Tim Howard, James McCarthy and Ross Barkley could be recalled to the starting line-up after all starting Wednesday’s League Cup win over Barnsley on the bench.

Romelu Lukaku is 8.5 (15/2) to open the scoring with Sky Bet ahead of Arouna Kone, who is a 11.0 (10/1) chance with Bet 365.

Tottenham won both meetings between the sides last season, while Everton haven’t beaten the North London outfit since December 2012.

You may be tempted to back both teams to score at 1.73 (8/11) with a number of firms, while the home win with both teams scoring at 3.85 (37/13) with 888 Sports.

Alternatively, William Hill offer 1.8 (4/5) for there to be three of more goals in the game.
