Following on from Leicester City’s 3-0 victory over West Bromwich Albion, the second Premier League match of the day sees Tottenham Hotspur take on Everton.

Kick-off in north London is at 16:30 BST.

The headline team news is that all five major summer signings from these two clubs are handed their full debuts today.

Matt Doherty (£6.0m) makes his Spurs bow at right-back, with Serge Aurier (£5.5m) relegated to the bench.

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg (£5.0m) also slots straight into central midfield, as expected.

Having not featured for the Lilywhites in pre-season thanks to self-isolation and international duty, Harry Kane (£10.5m) is back to lead the line.

Son Heung-min (£9.0m), Dele Alli (£8.0m) and Lucas Moura (£7.0m) will support the England international in attack.

All of Everton’s three summer signings make their full debuts, with central midfielders Allan (£5.5m) and Abdoulaye Doucoure (£5.5m) selected in Carlo Ancelotti’s starting XI.

James Rodriguez (£7.5m) also makes the cut, despite having started just one league match in the last 11 months.

Son and Doherty are the most-owned players on show here, with both players boasting double-digit ownerships.

Kane was the fourth-most-popular captaincy pick in Gameweek 1, with just over 300,000 FPL managers handing him the armband.

Richarlison (£8.0m), who may well be occupying a wide-midfield role based on Everton’s starting XI, is the only Toffee with an FPL ownership of over 10%.


Tottenham Hotspur XI: Lloris, Doherty, Alderweireld, Dier, Davies, Hojbjerg, Winks, Dele, Lucas, Son, Kane.

Everton XI: Pickford, Coleman, Mina, Keane, Digne, Allan, Gomes, Doucoure, Rodriguez, Richarlison, Calvert-Lewin.

    1. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years

    2. Vazza

    3. The 12th Man

      1. The 12th Man
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        He kicked off.

  3. JBG
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

  4. Pukki Blinders
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Richarlison selfish clown DCL had an open goal ffs....

    1. JBG
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      So did Richarlison tbf...

  5. Zimo
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    At least Everton are looking great barring that finish

  6. BarryManilows
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Which midfield guys A or B

    A. Aubameyang, Soucek, dele Alli, salah.

    Or

    B. Aubameyang or salah, Soucek, debruyne, Bruno fernandes.

    Thanks.

    1. Dr. Rog
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      The holy trinity or dele alli.
      Not a tough one

    2. ivantys
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      B has more penalty takers so B.

  7. Gnu
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Rich caught the turf slightly with his toe which made him stumble enough to completely mess it up.

  8. KGFC
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    How is Doherty and overall Spurs defence looking?

    1. Vazza
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Vulnerable

    2. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      dodgy

    3. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Doherty ridiculously advanced

    4. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Fairly solid

    5. Hairy Potter
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      He's playing as if he's a wingback, but Spurs are playing a back four.

      1. Pukki Blinders
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        That's their system...

    6. KGFC
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Thanks!!

    7. Meinhoff
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Average

    8. amitmishr
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Doherty has forgotten that he is right back and not a winger. Mourinho bashing will cure it I supposed

      1. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Thats what Mourinho has told him to do

    9. Dr. Rog
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      That is how spurs play though

  9. BenDavies
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    This Spurs team are truly awful. Not sure about owning Son anymore. Mourinho has done a number on them.

    1. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      And he's ruined Doherty as an option now too

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Lol, are you watching the game?

        1. Zimo
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          Spurs won't keep clean sheets as well as wolves from what I've seen so ruined.

    2. Dr. Rog
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      The fixture ticker lied. They have good fixtures 5-8

    3. Hairy Potter
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      I don't get why he doesn't play Son and Kane up front with Alli behind in a 3-4-1-2.

      1. Dr. Rog
        • 16 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Not Kane’s natural position

      2. Scholes Out For Summer
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        not enough CBs

        If you play Bavies as a LCB whos their LWB? Sessegnon? then they have no backups

        1. Hairy Potter
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          Buy a left wingback if Rose (I know!) and Sessegnon aren't up to it.

    4. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Easy move to Pulisic/Havertz, or cheaper.

    5. Dr Van Nostrand
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      They already were under him last year. Lost Verty and Aurier marooned for Doherty and Hojberg. Arguably even worse now

  10. Check out my Umtiti's
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Some place, somewhere, Marco Silva just creamed his pants at the sight of that Richarlilolololol miss

  11. Pedram
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Kane not involved at all, worrying

    1. Dr. Rog
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Will pop up with a key defensive header in the 2nd half

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Wait until penalties

  12. Locarno
    • 15 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Spurs look well off the pace. Cue a 90th-minute match-winning pen from Kane.

    1. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Or a random leighton baines spawns out of nowherre to score a pen for Everton

  13. DRIZ ✅
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Alli slow and lazy so far

    Not my words but Jose’s

    1. Vazza
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Apparently he’s lazy during training sessions

  14. ace3.1415
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Thoughts on harvey barnes?

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Decent - needs better finishing

  15. Brosstan
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    DCL owners think he would have scored if Richarlison passed 😆

  16. Peter Ouch
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Is Kane the new firmino?

    1. Hairy Potter
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      The new Shearer (when Gullit was Toon manager). Needs more from the likes of Alli and Moura to create and stretch the defence.

  17. ivantys
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    After 20 min, ppl saying how bad spurs are, just like leicester game just now.

    1. WVA
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Leicester were bad, two stupid penalties given away that's all

      1. ivantys
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Well the first one for pool was equally stupid as well.

  18. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    James still looks 14

  19. seewhyaxe
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    was James signed by Mou during his tenure at Madrid?

  20. Here is Cash, give McGinn
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Can anybody tell me why the games of the every round after third is player at the same time? What is the point? Sucks man

    1. Here is Cash, give McGinn
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Played*

    2. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      The TV schedule hasnt been set

    3. keefy59
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      That won't happen the television companies will share out the fixtures giving different kick- off times

    4. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      TV Schedule not decided yet. Expect an renouncement on Octobers fixtures during the week.

    5. Here is Cash, give McGinn
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Ah okay thanks! Phew

  21. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Son close

  22. ivantys
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    omg that son assist plus kane goal

  23. BENOIT
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Spurs very nearly a shut a few people up there

  24. Brosstan
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Kane you turgid donkey...

  25. JBG
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Ffs... Great cross from Son.

  26. Collie01
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Despite Everton looking good and comfortable in possession, DCL I don't think has touched the ball yet.

    Son looks lively

    1. JBG
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      DCL touched the ball once on Spurs' left side, before passing it back to James.

  27. DRIZ ✅
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    How is Kane looking?

    1. Leonard hatred
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Quiet, half a yard off the pace.

      Son's looking much busier.

  28. Pedram
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Son assist .... almost

  29. The 12th Man
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Alli touch in the box

  30. JBG
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Alli on the other hand, seems like the Alli we have beem seeing these last few seasons.
