It has been confirmed that Spurs will be playing in the first live televised match of the 2007-08 Barclays Premier League season following the announcement of the first round of live game selections from Sky Sports and Setanta Sports.

The trip to the Stadium of Light to face Roy Keane’s Sunderland on the season’s opening day on Saturday August 11 will now kick-off at 1.45pm, televised by Sky.

Our first home game of the campaign, Everton at the Lane, will also be live on Sky on Tuesday August 14, kick-off 9pm.

Our first change of date is when we take on the champions as our trip to Old Trafford to face Manchester United moves from Saturday August 25 to Sunday August 26, live on Sky, kick-off now 5pm.

The first game live on Setanta is at the Lane against Aston Villa on Monday October 1st , kick-off 9pm, and represents a special occasion for everyone at Spurs – given the Club’s first-ever match was held on September 30, 1882, this match has been selected to celebrate our 125th anniversary.
