11'
Glorious chance for Kane! Trippier splits the Everton defence with a pass over the top. Kane's first touch sets him up nicely, but he lobs his finish over Pickford and over the bar.
10'
Richarlison header! Walcott picks out the Brazilian forward inside the box, but his header bounces wide of the post when he should have at least tested Lloris in the Spurs goal.
8'
It's been quite a subdued start to this match. Still waiting for the first chance to be created as the two teams just feel their way into the contest. Everton probably on top so far.
7'
That was a nice idea from Gomes. The Portuguese midfielder was looking for the run of Walcott at the back post, but the pass was a little too strong and the winger couldn't keep it in.
6'
Tussle! Sanchez and Calvert-Lewin go head to head as they challenge for a loose ball on the edge of the Spurs box, but Sanchez does just enough. Good strength from the youngster.
5'
With Rose out for Spurs Davies comes in at left back today. Other than that, this is pretty much a full strength side from the North London outfit. No excuses if they don't win this.
4'
Gomes starts again for Everton this afternoon. The Portuguese midfielder has become a key part of Silva's team since joining on loan from Barcelona in the summer. Proving his worth.

Looks like Everton are going to allow Spurs to play out from the back and then press them when they get into the midfield. Probably a wise ploy from Silva, the Toffees boss.
1st Half

The match is under way! It's Everton against Spurs in the Premier League!
15:59
Okay, here we go. The match is about to get started on Merseyside. Kick off just seconds away.
15:58
The Z Cars anthem has rung around Goodison Park. The handshakes have taken place, so have the team photos...
15:57
15:56
The two teams are in the tunnel waiting to walk out at Goodison Park. This could be a good match.
15:55
Not long until kick off at Goodison Park. Who do you fancy to win this one? This is a big game in the season of both teams and could set the tone for their respective Christmas schedules.
15:50
Last season, Silva had his head turned after being linked with the Everton job. Now, Pochettino is being strongly linked with the Man Utd job. So will he manage to keep his focus?
15:45
I'm Graham Ruthven and you can catch me on Twitter ahead of the match to let me know your thoughts. How tough a match will this be for Spurs? Will Richarlison find form today? Tweet me!

15:35
Everton have been improving in recent weeks. One issue they have is up front. Silva doesn't seem to know for sure who to play in attack. Calvert-Lewin starts this afternoon.
15:30
Title race? A win for Spurs here would take Spurs to within six points of Liverpool at the top of the Premier League table, and within two points of Man City. Are they part of the title race?
