Follow live coverage as Everton face Tottenham Hotspur today in the Premier League. Another top-flight season will be covered in full right here with The Independent, as reigning champions Manchester City look to make it an unprecedented five titles in a row come the end of 2024/25.
The likes of Arsenal and Liverpool will be chasing Pep Guardiola’s side, but just as fascinating will be the race for Champions League places, with more teams than ever before having designs on top-four finishes. Chelsea remain big-spending, Manchester United’s latest rebuild continues and both Tottenham and Newcastle will expect improvements this year – yet it was Aston Villa who snared fourth last term.
Meanwhile, it’s Southampton, Leicester City and Ipswich Town who made it back to the elite after promotion last year and each will have hope they can make it more than a one-year stay. Follow the latest live action from the Premier League below:
Everton vs Tottenham Hotspur
Son’s inswinging corner to the far post is hit in search of Dragusin, who is marked closely by Branthwaite, but a diving Pickford manages to get a flapping hand to the ball to push it away from the Tottenham centre-back.
Everton vs Tottenham Hotspur
Though Tottenham have managed to come from behind to take points in the Premier League in four of their 11 attempts (three wins and one draw), they have not managed to do so away from home this campaign, losing in each of the four games on their travels where they’ve conceded first.
Everton vs Tottenham Hotspur
WELL-TIMED! Davies goes long from deep inside his own half, looking to pick out the run of Son. It’s an inch-perfect delivery that finds the captain perfectly in stride but he’s unable to test Pickford, with Tarkowski’s tackle dispossessing the striker eight yards from goal!
Everton vs Tottenham Hotspur
Tarkowski floats a lovely pass forward for Calvert-Lewin, who is unable to get a shot away thanks to the presence of Dragusin. He instead looks to bring Lindstrom into the play, with the winger firing a low shot towards the goalkeeper’s near post, but an offside in the build up gives Tottenham the ball.

Calvert-Lewin’s goal ended his 16-match run in the Premier League without one, with today’s strike his first in the competition since September 14, 2024 against Aston Villa.

Lindstrom steps across to intercept Bergvall’s forward pass for Son before storming forward to set Everton away on the counter-attack. After reaching the edge of the 18-yard box, the Everton winger centres a pass for Calvert-Lewin but it’s Ndiaye who latches onto it, curling a shot towards goal that’s blocked at the outset by Dragusin.

The hosts are finally allowed to restart play, with Lindstrom whipping a corner-kick into the six-yard box from the left, but it’s met first by Son before Spence whacks the ball out of play hurriedly for an Everton throw.
Everton vs Tottenham Hotspur
Play is stopped ahead of an Everton corner due to an apparent issue with one of the match officials. It appears the linesman had left his post temporarily after an issue with his communication device, but after a moment he retakes his place to allow the match to continue.

Lindstrom steps inside from the right flank before cutting back to shift the ball onto his right foot to hit a venomous shot towards goal that’s pushed away by a diving Kinsky.
