Tottenham and Everton Meet Again at a Familiar Crossroads: How to Watch Saturday’s Premier League Clash

Four months ago, Tottenham Hotspur hosted Everton with survival on the line, sparking a spending spree that ultimately exceeded $400 million in the transfer window. On Saturday, the London club finds itself searching for answers once again — this time at the start of a new campaign rather than the end of an old one.

Spurs, now managed by Roberto De Zerbi, enter the match winless through three fixtures of the 2026-27 season and have yet to score a single goal. The club’s hierarchy is publicly committed to giving the Italian time to build his project, though patience in North London has historically run thin.

Everton, by contrast, arrive unbeaten with one win and two draws, rescuing points with stoppage-time equalizers in each of their last two outings — first through James Tarkowski against Bournemouth, then via Ainsley Maitland-Niles last weekend. David Moyes’ squad remains thin in attack, but summer arrivals Tyrique George and Maitland-Niles have both already found the net, with Hayden Hackney adding an assist.

Broadcast details

The match kicks off at 12:30 pm ET on Saturday, September 12, at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London. Coverage airs on NBC, with streaming available via NBC.com.

Those broadcast rights sit within the portfolio of Comcast Corporation (CMCSA), whose NBC network has carried Premier League coverage in the United States since 2022 under its long-term rights agreement. Shares of the media and telecom giant were trading at $25.17 on the day, up 2.11% from a prior close of $24.65, giving the company a market capitalization of roughly $92.5 billion.

Team news

Tottenham’s injury list is significant: Mykhailo Mudryk (muscular) and Xavi Simons and Wilson Odobert — each with torn ACLs — are out. James Maddison (shoulder) and Dejan Kulusevski are questionable.

Everton will be without Christian Norgaard, who is sidelined with a muscular issue.

The matchup comes with an obvious tactical layer: De Zerbi’s side has the deeper squad on paper but hasn’t translated that into goals, while Moyes has squeezed early results from a thinner roster.

What to watch

• Whether Spurs can register their first goal of the season and snap the winless start.
• Everton’s streak of late-game equalizers — and whether it extends to a third consecutive match.
• Availability updates on Maddison and Kulusevski closer to kickoff.
• Upcoming results for both clubs ahead of the international window and the next round of Premier League fixtures.
