Spurs Extend Goal Drought as Everton Hold Them to 0-0

Tottenham failed to score for the fourth straight match, drawing 0-0 with Everton at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Despite dominating early and rotating with injuries, Spurs couldn’t convert their chances (0.64 xG to Everton's 1.17), with near-misses from van Hecke and Fernandes and a late Bergvall effort saved by Jordan Pickford. The result marks a goalless home draw and follows Tottenham's ongoing attacking struggles as they prepare for a League Cup tie at Anfield.

Alternative 2025-26 Premier League tables reveal shifting leaders and new strengths

BBC Sport and Opta built alternative 2025-26 Premier League tables using metrics such as expected points (xPTS), home/away form, set-pieces, long shots and English goalscorers. The exercise highlights notable shifts: Sunderland would be relegated under xPTS, Aston Villa would finish bottom half, and Chelsea would reach the Champions League; Tottenham would excel away and could qualify for the Europa League in an away-only table, while Everton and Nottingham Forest overperformed on the road and Fulham boasted the strongest home form. Arsenal again feature among the top performers from set-pieces, illustrating how different metrics can reshape the season’s narrative and fuel debate over the value of “expected” data versus real points.

Gravenberch and Ekitike Fuel Liverpool's 5-2 Triumph Over West Ham

Liverpool rediscovered their attacking rhythm with a 5-2 win over West Ham, powered by Hugo Ekitike’s goal and two assists and a forward-minded shift for Ryan Gravenberch; Alisson had a shaky moment, Mo Salah was quieter, and West Ham pressed hard and posted higher xG, but Liverpool’s tweaks—Gravenberch and Mac Allister roaming in midfield and the defense mold with the right-back tucking in—set them up for upcoming league and FA Cup fixtures against Wolverhampton.
