Spurs only finished sixth in the standings last term while the Toffees were equally disappointing  Zach Britton Jersey as they were 12th on the table.Jose Mourinhos side have signed the likes of Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Matt Doherty, who have Premier League experience and the focus now remains on whether they can push for a Champions League spot, which they mi sed out for the first time in five seasons last term.The Toffees, on the other hand, have a new-look midfield with the arrivals of Allan, Abdoulaye Doucoure and James Rodriguez.
