This is where it all started for Ronald Koeman, a 1-1 draw on the opening day of last season when Ross Barkley and Erik Lamela got the goals. Neither will feature this time and while Tottenham are bullish as Harry Kane moves into September, the Everton manager’s failure to sign a targetman means he will be hoping Wayne Rooney is not affected by his drink-driving charge.
