Tottenham Hotspur begin life after Antonio Conte with a trip to face Everton this evening.

Spurs elected to move on from the Italian manager during the international break a week after Conte labelled the club’s players as lacking in “fight” and “desire” in an explosive press conference that seemed destined to end his time in north London.

Interim boss Cristian Stellini has recent touchline experience, covering for Conte during a health-related absence earlier in the season, but faces a tough test first up against an Everton side strengthened under Sean Dyche.

With eight sides appearing to be in the relegation battle, a point or more against a visiting side in transition seems feasible and could be vital.

We will bring you all the action and updates from tonight's game in the live blog below:

Everton vs Tottenham Hotspur

Garner steps up to take the free-kick he won, and he teases it towards the far post. Davies is the closest to it, but there's too much pace on the cross for him to get there.

There are big shouts for a handball from the Everton fans and players against Porro. The wing-back's arms were tight to his side when Mykolenko's cross struck him though, and the referee quickly waves off the penalty claims.
