Everton remain undefeated at their new stadium and will be confident of keeping that proud record going when they host Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League.
David Moyes continues to work wonders with a team that had been battling relegation for years before he returned to the dugout.
Since a disappointing loss at Leeds on day one in the Premier League, the only sides to have beaten the Toffees are Liverpool and Manchester City.
They’ve gone five without defeat at the Hill Dickinson Stadium and will fancy their chances against a Spurs side coming off the back of a draining midweek game in Europe.
Thomas Frank’s men were lucky to escape with a 0-0 draw away to Monaco on Wednesday night and now turn their attention back to domestic matters.
Spurs got off to a flying start under Frank but they've been inconsistent in recent weeks and have been lacking a bit of cohesion in their league outings.
They lost 2-1 at home to Aston Villa in their last Premier League game so Frank will be looking to get back on track with an historic win in Merseyside.
How the bookies view it: Toffees homing in on points
Everton’s strong home form makes them 11/8 favourites for this one with BOYLE Sports. Tottenham Hotspur are priced at 21/10 and the draw pays 23/10.

Recent head to head: Tottenham on top
Everton won 3-2 when these sides faced off for the final time at Goodison Park last season. But Spurs had been on top before that, going eight games without defeat in this fixture.
Players to watch: Jack’s the new king
Jack Grealish has been a terrific signing for Everton and has chipped in with one goal and four assists. The winger is 10/3 at BOYLE Sports for another goal while Bet365 have an assist at the same price. He’s also 5/4 with that firm to do either.
Xavi Simons came off the bench for Spurs in Monaco and could get a start here. He’s always a threat from midfield and is 6/4 at Bet365 to either score or assist.
Probable line-ups
Jarrad Branthwaite misses out again for Everton along with Merlin Rohl. Spurs look set to be without first-team stars Dejan Kulusevski, Cristian Romero, Destiny Udogie, James Maddison and Dominic Solanke again.
Everton: Pickford, O’Brien, Keane, Tarkowski, Mykolenko, Gueye, Garner, Iroegbunam, Grealish, Ndiaye, Beto.
Tottenham Hotspur: Vicario, Spence, Danso, Van de Ven, Porro, Sarr, Simons,Palhinha, Kudus, Johnson, Richarlison.
Anything else catch the eye?
It’s always a good option backing Grealish’s marker to commit a few fouls as he’s the most targeted player in the Premier League.
Pedro Porro will probably be tasked with keeping him in check and the Spaniard is evens at Bet365 to commit over 1.5 fouls.
Both meetings last season hit double figures for corners, with an average of 13. That makes over 10 corners a good option here at 11/10 with Bet365.
There’s not much between these teams in terms of quality, although home advantage could just give Everton the edge. I'm expecting a close game and the half-time draw also appeals at 21/20 with BOYLE Sports.
