Tottenham Hotspur opened up their Premier League account with a disappointing score draw against Leicester City at the King Power Stadium.

Tottenham didn’t make their first-half dominance count and were made to pay in the second half when Jamie Vardy cancelled out Pedro Porro’s opener.

Now, the pressure will be on Ange Postecoglou to get into the win column on Saturday as his side host Everton.

The Toffees were thumped 3-0 by Brighton and Hove Albion in their opener, so they’re in need of a reaction too.

Chris Sutton has now issued his verdict on the clash.

Chris Sutton predicts Tottenham to beat Everton BBC Sport website

Sutton, writing on the BBC Sport website, has predicted Tottenham to pick up their first victory of the season.

“Spurs could have been eight up at half-time against Leicester but didn’t take the chances and that will have been a bit of a sickener, it will have felt like a defeat.

“There are high hopes for Ange Postecoglou in his second season and they made great progress last year.

“Everton played well for the first 20 minutes against Brighton and are a team who will sit and frustrate the life out of Tottenham and then counter.

“They ran Tottenham close last season but I will say Spurs at home, in front of their own fans, need to be more clinical and will be.”

Sutton went on to predict a 3-1 win for Postecoglou’s men.

Tottenham should consider starting Wilson Odobert

Against Leicester, Spurs lacked the cutting edge up front and were bereft of any real creativity in the second half.

Brennan Johnson and Dejan Kulusevki both featured on the right-hand side but failed to make an impact.

In fact, Simon Jordan even questioned if Johnson and Kulusevski were good enough for Tottenham.

So, perhaps Posetcoglou should hand Wilson Odobert his debut after arriving from Burnley in a £30m deal.

The Frenchman will be hungry to establish himself as a regular and could cause Vitalii Mykolenko a real problem down the right channel.

Odobert has been playing as a right-winger in training.
