    Everton host Tottenham Hotspur at Goodison Park on Sunday 3rd November 2013 (KO 13:30) in the 10th round of Premier League matches for the 2013-14 season.

    Everton come into the match in 6th place in the League on 18 points, while Spurs are in 4th place on 19 points

    This will be the 172nd time the two clubs have met.

    The first meeting came in April 1897 in an end of season friendly match at Tottenham Marshes which Spurs won 2-1. Everton were founder-members of the Football League and had just finished 7th in the First Division while Spurs were in the Southern League and had finished 4th.

    A further friendly was played at Goodison Park on New Year's Day 1902 which Everton won 3-1.

    The clubs' first competitive match came in the old First Round (today's Third Round) of the FA Cup in February 1904 at Goodison Park which Spurs won 2-1 with a Vivian Woodward goal and an own goal from Everton's Balmer.

    Both clubs embarked on a central European tour in the summer of 1905 an met twice with Everton winning both matches 2-0 in Vienna and 1-0 in Prague.

    A second FA Cup meeting came in January 1908 with Spurs losing 1-0 at Everton.

    At the end of that season, both Spurs and Everton set sail for a tour of South America and played two exhibition matches in Palermo, Argentina with the first game drawn 0-0 and Everton winning the second 4-0. On the voyage home, Spurs 'borrowed' the ship captain's parrot who lived happilly for a decade at the Tottenham offices in the High Road until it dropped dead the day news came through that Arsenal had stolen Spurs' First Division place in 1919.

    The first Football League meetings came in the First Division in the 1909-10 season with Everton winning 4-2 at Goodison and Spurs winning 3-0 at the Lane.

    The clubs then met regularly in the First Division up to season 1927-28 with eight wins for Spurs, ten wins for Everton and eight matches drawn.

    The only League meetings between the two clubs outside the Top Flight of English Football came in season 1930-31 in the Second Division with Everton winning 4-2 at Goodison Park and Spurs winning 1-0 at White Hart Lane.

    The clubs met for two more seasons in Division One before the outbreak of World War Two with a win apiece and two games drawn.

    Spurs won a 3rd Round FA Cup tie 3-0 at home in 1934 and a 5th round tie at home in 1937 4-3 after a 1-1 draw at Goodison Park.

    The first meeting after WW2 came in the FA Cup 5th Round at Goodison Park in February 1950 with Everton winning 1-0.

    Spurs regained their First Division status in 1950-51 and did the 'double' over Everton on their way to the first Football League Championship won by Tottenham Hotspur with a 2-1 away win and a 3-0 home win. Everton lost their First Division place that same season along with Sheffield Wednesday, while Chelsea escaped the drop on goal average.

    Everton were back in the First Division for the 1954-55 season and the clubs have met in the Top Flight for every subsequent season to date, except for 1977-78 when Spurs dropped down to the Second Division for one season.

    Bill Nicholson's first game as Tottenham's manager came at White Hart Lane in October 1958 and Spurs were 6-1 up at half-time and went on to beat Everton 10-4.

    A League game at White Hart Lane in December 1969 was abandoned due to floodlight failure after 29 minutes.

    The two clubs met in February and March of 1986 in a competition called the Screen Sport Super Cup, which was introduced to give teams who would have qualified for the European competitions some compensation, as English clubs were banned from Europe. The first match at White Hart Lane ended goalless while Everton won the return leg 3-1.

    The only Football League Cup meeting between the clubs came in the Fourth Round in October 2009 with Spurs winning 2-0 at the Lane with goals from Tom Huddlestone and Robbie Keane.

    Both Tottenham Hotspur and Everton were founder-members of the Premier League and are two of the seven clubs who have been ever-present for the entire 22 seasons of the competition, along with Arsenal, Aston Villa, Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United.

    Spurs have taken more points off Everton in the Premier League than from any other opponent. The 72 points won by Spurs against Everton in the 42 matches played to date gives an average of 1.71 points won per game.

    The 2010-11 meetings in the Premier League only yielded one point for Spurs, which came in a 1-1 draw at the Lane in October 2010. The reverse fixture in January 2011 was won 1-2 by Everton. The Toffees' goals were scored by Leighton Baines at Spurs and Louis Saha & Seamus Coleman at Goodison Park. Rafael van der Vaart scored both Spurs' goals that season.

    Spurs' home game last season was re-arranged from the opening day to January 2012 due to rioting in the Tottenham area. Spurs won the match 2-0 with goals from Aaron Lennon and a belter from Benoit Assou-Ekotto. During the January transfer window, Spurs signed Everton's French striker Louis Saha while Steven Pienaar moved in the opposite direction on loan until the end of the season. The match at Goodison Park in March 2012 was won 1-0 by Everton when Nikica Jelavic scored his first goal for the club in the 22nd minute.

    During the Summer of 2012, Everton re-signed Steven Pienaar from Spurs on a permanent basis.

    Everton won the fixture at Goodison Park in December 2012 with two very late goals in injury time from Steven Pienaar and Nikica Jelavic after Clint Dempsey had put Tottenham ahead after 76 minutes. The return game at White Hart Lane in April 2013 finished in a 2-2 draw. Emmanuel Adebayor put Spurs ahead in the first minute but Phil Jagielka leveled thigs after 15 minutes. Everton took the lead with a Kevin Mirallas goal after 53 minutes and Gylfi Sigurdsson scored for Spurs with three minutes remaining.

    Overall, Spurs have won 61 of the 171 matches played so far with Everton winning 59 and 51 matches drawn.

    Have a feeling we'll be in for a low scoring match on Sunday and our league form to continue. I'm not even going to try and predict the score.

    Hard to call. We were unlucky to lose to them at Goodison, and we were unlucky to lose to you lads.



    Also, look out for Barry, the dirty ****er. Should've been sent off against us, awful challenge on Aluko.

    A remarkably even record over 116 years.

    A useful team from those who played for both.

    But Pat Jennings? When?

    Pat Jennings signed up for Everton as goalkeeping cover for the 1986 FA Cup Final, Lidls.
    Neville Southall was injured, so Bobby Mimms, another one of our ex-keepers, played instead.

    And you remember this from your teens?

    "Signed for both" rather than "played for both" then?

    Louis Saha seems to be the new Paul Stewart!

    Martinez is proving alot of folk wrong, including me, as I didn't think he had the personality to handle managing a big club. Early days of course but the way he has installed an attacking mentality into Everton shows players adapt to his methods.

    We have Eriksen and Lamela.

    Everton have Barry and Barkley.

    If Martinez was our Manager I would bet on him getting a better response from our creative talent and players like Carroll would have been given a chance.

    Instead our physical and suffocating game will be up against Everton and their passing game, 1-0 to the boring Tottenham?

    Are we again going to play 4231, the bog standard formation but when we play 4231, our football is crap. When other teams play 4231, such as dortmund , their football is exciting.

    Come on Avb, loosen up a tad, you have two of Europe's most highly rated creative players in Eriksen and Lamela, if you can't play creative football with such players then boring Tottenham it is.

    Everton is going to be even tougher for us now.

    After the battle with Hull where a number of first teamers played, going away to Goodison is hardly ideal.

    Team I'd go for:

    Lloris,
    Walker, Dawson, Chiriches, Vertonghen
    Sandro, Dembele
    Lennon, Eriksen, Townsend
    Soldado

    Friedel, Kaboul, Paulinho, Sig, Lamela, Kane, Defoe

    Doubt Capoue is ready for Prem yet, would've been ideal if he got minutes vs Hull. Kane more than deserves his place on the bench and I think it will be unjust if he isn't included. I wouldn't want to risk Kaboul after playing 120 mins last night, I think Newcastle is a game he could/ should start. Left Holtby out too, sorry guys I just don't rate him, looks good in Europa yet fails to do anything in the league in my opinion.

    I said 1-1 on the predictions thread and I think I'll stick by it. Though if Lukaku really does hate AVB, we might be in for a long afternoon.

    Would be an ideal game for Kaboul but presumably he won't be available so soon after 120 minutes yesterday.

    It was tougher than we all expected against Hull but these cups often produce surprises with lower league teams beating PL sides, it happens every season so maybe in the cold light of dawn we shouldn't be too harsh on the lads as we didn't lose did we? Sadly I can see us being beaten by Everton but if we can score first then perhaps we can hold onto the lead. I'm still waiting for us to click but maybe we've seen the best of us already.

    Yes SD it is scary but we don't know otherwise do we? Everton will be a good measure for us as we are so equally matched. This is and has always been my favourite fixture with some good football played over the years long may it continue.

    Baines and Coleman like to get forward, so this should mean that our wingers don't get doubled up on every time (assuming we break quickly and don't wait around for them to get back into position)

    With a small amount of freedom given to Andros or Lennon/Gylfi/Lamela we may see some better service to Soldado.

    The central midfield battle will be interesting, especially if Sandro is back to full fitness.

    Lukaku vs Chriches or Dawson would give me nightmares if I was AVB though. He has one of the highest passing stats in the prem, so the only way to stop him is to stop the service to him imo. Otherwise 1-1 he will destroy our CB's for Pace and Power.

    We could just give Sandro a certain instruction to do a "special tackle" <whistle>

    Agree, I've always rated Martinez and you can see the legacy he left at Swansea and tried to leave at Wigan before Whelan appointed Coyle and turned them into an ugly direct team.

    They've taken a scalp in Chelsea and will look to do so against Spurs given their strong home record. No love lost between Lukaku and AVB so I'm sure the former will be even more fired up. On paper this should be as good as Arsenal v Liverpool.

    I think Everton have noticably changed since he started. In the opening games he tried to play the slower possession football he liked at Wigan but since then and with signing Lukaku they've generally played much more direct, particularly in the big games.

    But yes, I agree he has done better than I was expecting but then again I didn't think he'd change his style so drastically, he took Wigan into relegation battle after relegation battle by refusing to compromise on his style of play.



    I know everyone wants more creativity but I think this might be a good game to call Everton's bluff, they're well suited to countering against a side that likes to push forward and I'd like us to see us set up deeper and look to counter them. Both sides have pace on the counter and in a game like this, where a draw is a decent result, I don't see why we should play into their hands by negating our pace by playing with slower passing and a high line, which in turn would allow them to use their pace on the counter against us.

    I'd go for a classic 433:
    Lloris
    Walker, Dawson, Vertonghen, Rose(If not then Kaboul at CB(If not then Chirches))
    Paulinho, Sandro, Holtby
    Townsend, Soldado, Lennon.

    Is there a place for Lamela, Eriksen and Holtby in our team? Not that I'm disagreeing with your line up as that's more likely.

    I know I've said this before, but Wenger plays a 4231 and will play arteta, Ozil, carzola and Ramsey, that's four superb passers of the ball.

    We play 4231 and play one natural passer of the ball and Ironically even if we start with two wingers we still lack width.

    If Avb is hell bent on playing narrow, we should start with Eriksen, Holtby and Lamela and let them develop.

    Against Everton I agree sitting deep is wiser, but when has Avb ever set us up to play deeper? Never!
