Everton will start competitive life at the new Hill Dickinson Stadium with a Premier League fixture against Brighton & Hove Albion, aiming to build on second-half form under David Moyes and recover from a 1-0 defeat at Leeds. Eight Premier League sides have moved to new grounds while remaining in the top flight for their first season, excluding temporary homes. Tottenham relocated to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in 2019 after spells at Wembley, enjoying initial wins including a 2-0 debut over Crystal Palace before later defeats and a sixth-place finish. West Ham moved to the London Stadium for 2016-17, opening with a 3-0 win over NK Domzale and a 1-0 Premier League home win over Bournemouth.
Tottenham moved to their new Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in 2019 - on the site of their old White Hart Lane ground - after almost two seasons at Wembley. Their first game at the new ground was on 3 April 2019, a 2-0 league win over Crystal Palace. They followed that up with a Champions League victory over Manchester City and league wins over Huddersfield and Brighton. But then they lost to West Ham in the league and Ajax in the Champions League semi-final first leg.
Their first full season at the new ground resulted in the sacking of boss Mauricio Pochettino and a disappointing sixth-place finish in the league. That was their joint-worst place in the league since 200809. In their final season at White Hart Lane (2016-17), they did not lose a single game there. They were unbeaten in home games in the league, finishing second, and domestic cups. Their Champions League matches were played at Wembley.
