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:

Perisic hits a cross against Godfrey, who hooks it away to set Doucoure away again. He's forced wide by Lenglet and does well to win a corner, but they can't make anything of it.

It's better from Everton here as they pass their way through Spurs' midfield. McNeil finds himself in space down the left and curls in a good cross, but Gray can't get to it before Dier.

SAVE! Doucoure carries Everton forward on the counter again and slides it through to Onana on the right of the box. He has a yard on Lenglet so hits a low shot on goal, but it's comfortably saved by Lloris.

Perisic's corner is half-cleared by Godfrey, and Hojbjerg keeps it alive by laying it off to Porro. He does well to shrug off Doucoure to get to the edge of the box before firing a wild shot high into the stands.

Spurs are keeping Everton penned back deep in their own half as they look to try and open them up. They switch it from right to left, with Perisic clipping in a good cross, but Godfrey gets in front of Kane at the far post.

CHANCE! Everton's high press pays off as Dier is dispossessed by Onana. Gueye runs onto the loose ball and carries it to the edge of the box before having a go, but it's always rising high over the bar.
