"Everton prepare to face Tottenham at Hill Dickinson Stadium on Sunday undefeated at their new home following three wins and two draws this season. Their home form follows a summer of largely successful recruitment, although a question mark still remains at centre-forward, which has been a problem position since the departure of Romelu Lukaku in 2017. The Toffees have signed 17 strikers over the past 10 years at a combined cost of almost 160m... with decidedly mixed results."
"Since Lukaku's sale in the summer of 2017, the Blues have scored 357 Premier League goals - the fewest of any ever-present club. Leicester City have scored 388 goals - 31 more than the Toffees during the same period - despite spending two seasons in the second tier. Despite having signed 17 strikers in that time, Everton are yet to find a reliable long-term option - and selection problems persist to this day."
Everton have strong home form this season, remaining unbeaten at Hill Dickinson Stadium with three wins and two draws. A summer of largely successful recruitment has improved the squad, but a reliable centre-forward remains elusive since Romelu Lukaku's 2017 exit. The club has signed 17 strikers over the past ten years for almost £160m with mixed results. Since 2017 Everton have scored 357 Premier League goals, the fewest of any ever-present club, while Leicester have scored 388 in the same period. Manager David Moyes frequently changes centre-forwards during matches as selection issues continue. New signing Thierno Barry is adapting to Premier League pace.
