Tottenham's Attack Has Yet to Get Going

Tottenham's start to the Premier League season has been difficult. Spurs opened with a 3-0 road defeat against Brentford before losing 2-0 at home against Newcastle. They followed those performances with a scoreless draw at Nottingham Forest.

That leaves Tottenham 0-1-2 through its opening three league matches with zero goals scored and five conceded. A 5-1 League Cup victory over Charlton showed that Spurs are capable of producing offensively, but that success hasn't carried over into Premier League competition.

The biggest concern entering Saturday is obvious: Tottenham has gone three consecutive league games without scoring. Home field ordinarily would make Spurs attractive around even money against Everton, but it's difficult to justify laying that price until the attack demonstrates that it can consistently create and finish opportunities.

Everton Has Yet to Lose

Everton has enjoyed a much better beginning to its Premier League campaign. The Toffees opened with a 2-0 home victory over Crystal Palace before playing Bournemouth to a 1-1 road draw. Everton then earned another point with a 2-2 draw against Manchester United.

That gives Everton a 1-2-0 league record with five points, and the club has scored five goals while allowing three. Everton also recorded a convincing 4-0 League Cup victory at Preston during this stretch.

The broader form is even more encouraging. Everton enters this matchup unbeaten in six matches across all competitions and friendlies, while Tottenham has failed to score in each of its last two matches. Everton has also shown an ability to produce away from home, making the underdog particularly interesting at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Tottenham vs Everton Picks and Prediction

Pick: Everton +0.5

Tottenham may be the home favorite, but Everton +0.5 is the preferred side. This effectively gives us Everton and the draw against a Tottenham team that has yet to score a Premier League goal this season. Everton is unbeaten through three league matches, has already earned a point away from home and has scored five times compared with Tottenham's zero. Spurs certainly have the ability to turn their season around, but asking them to win at approximately even money requires trusting an attack that hasn't delivered in league competition. Take Everton +0.5.

Pick: Under 2.5 Goals

The Under 2.5 goals is the stronger betting angle. Tottenham's first three Premier League games have finished 0-3, 0-2 and 0-0, meaning Spurs haven't contributed a single goal to the total. Everton has been more productive, but two of its first three league matches finished with two goals or fewer. Tottenham should also be increasingly focused on defensive stability after its difficult start. Unless Spurs suddenly solve their offensive problems, this matchup has a strong path toward a 0-0, 1-0, 1-1 or 0-1 result. Take Under 2.5 goals.

Final Picks: Everton +0.5 and Under 2.5 Goals
