The signing of the forward Son Heung-min will raise spirits but Tottenham still do not look well enough equipped to improve on last season’s fifth place and could struggle to get their first win this season against an Everton team who look to have more power and creativity. Spurs will need to defend brilliantly for the whole match for a change to keep the visitors at bay, with Ross Barkley and Romelu Lukaku in dangerous form. Paul Doyle
