"There are six ever-present clubs since the inauguration of the Premier League in 1992. Between them, they account for the Merseyside derby and North London derby, not to mention matches between Manchester United and Liverpool and some of the biggest title rivalries of the modern era. Everton and Tottenham Hotspur are the two teams without a Premier League title the Toffees last won the championship in 1986-87, Spurs in 1960-61 and neither have really been all that close."
"The Premier League's day-to-day, its run-of-the-mill, its par-for-the-course, is where the real magic happens. Everton and Manchester United create magic in the mundane. As two of the six, Everton and United have played each other in two league games in every season of the Premier League years. They don't have the rivalry with one another that they both have with Liverpool, nor even the mutual distaste between United and Arsenal, but there's something that's just so right when they meet face to face."
Everton and Manchester United are among six clubs ever-present in the Premier League since 1992, creating regular fixtures and sustained familiarity. Their meetings lack the intense rivalry each club has with Liverpool or Arsenal yet deliver a distinctive, everyday magic rooted in routine top-flight encounters. Everton and Tottenham are the only clubs without a Premier League title, with Everton last champions in 1986–87 and Spurs in 1960–61. The Premier League's ordinary, season-to-season contests are framed as the sport's enduring appeal. Historic moments include the first Premier League match at Old Trafford, a 3-0 Everton win featuring Peter Beardsley.
