Saturday's English Premier League fixtures see a 7:45 a.m. EDT kick-off at White Hart Lane lead a slate of seven matches, five of which start at 10:00 a.m. EDT, when league-leading Chelsea will look for their seventh win in nine matches against visiting Wolverhampton Wanderers. The day concludes at Upton Park, where West Ham United will look to extend their unbeaten streak to five against Newcastle.
English Premier League Saturday: Tottenham, Everton Kick-Off EPL’s Ninth Match Day
But first, the match of the day. Everton's won two in a row, sparking hopes their slow start was an aberration. They're in London to face Spurs, who enter the day even on points with Arsenal and Manchester United.
The Guardian’s Scott Murray just posted the teams:
Tottenham Hotspur: Gomes, Hutton, Kaboul, Gallas, Assou-Ekotto, Lennon, Palacios, Modric, Bale, Van der Vaart, Crouch.
Subs: Cudicini, Jenas, Pavlyuchenko, Keane, Bassong, Kranjcar, Sandro.. . .
Everton: Howard, Coleman, Jagielka, Distin, Neville, Bilyaletdinov, Heitinga, Pienaar, Baines, Yakubu, Cahill.
Subs: Mucha, Hibbert, Saha, Beckford, Gueye, Duffy, Baxter.
No Tom Huddlestone for Spurs, while Everton will be without Mikel Arteta (amongst others). David Moyes' hopes will be buoyed by the potential return of Louis Saha, who makes the Toffees' bench. Oh, there's that Pienaar guy, too. The South African international's return - that's kind of important.
