The first-division clash scheduled for 11 a.m. ET will be held at White Hart Lane in London and can be live streamed here free. Additional TV coverage can be found on NBC Sports.
What They're Saying
Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino (via the Mirror): "In Southampton, I was a manager. My responsibility was not only to coach the team. Here I am a head coach. A head coach is head of your department. My department is to train the team."
Everton manager Roberto Martinez (via the Independent): "The standards Romelu [Lukaku] sets are huge. We are talking about a striker who could be the best striker in world football. Strikers are sometimes labelled. You are either a goalscorer, or someone who can hold up play or someone who can run in behind. Rom is everything."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Lukaku's numbers lend authenticity to Martinez's claims. In 12 league appearances, the 21-year-old has five goals and an average of 1.3 take-ons.
Tottenham's Projected Lineup (4-2-3-1): Lloris; Rose, Vertonghen, Fazio, Dier; Mason, Dembele; Eriksen, Kane, Lamela; Soldado
Everton's Projected Lineup (4-2-3-1): Howard; Baines, Jagielka, Distin, Coleman; Besic, Osman; McGeady, Barkley, Mirallas; Lukaku
