Pre-match quotes from Sam Allardyce

On the need for Everton to improve on their away form: "It was a poor 2017. We managed to get the win at Newcastle and draws against West Brom and Liverpool so we want to improve on that. Today is a really tough game as we know. Spurs are playing very well so we expect a tough game and will do our very best to get a result. A point would be satisfying."

On naming Cenk Tosun in the Toffees' starting line-up: "It's a brave decision by me throwing him in at the deep end. It's his dream come true to play in the Premier League. Hopefully he can impress today. If he doesn't that will be more my fault than his. It'll be much more demanding than he thinks it will be. We'll see how he goes on."
