Frustration: Spurs supporters will be starved of football on a Saturday afternoon

Sam Long31 July 2015

Just two of Tottenham's first 14 Premier League fixtures will be played at the traditional kick off time of Saturday at 3pm after the latest release of the Premier League's television schedule.

Mauricio Pochettino's men open their campaign with a lunch time trip to face Manchester United at Old Trafford on 8 August before facing Leicester and Stoke City, with both games set to take place at the traditional time slot of 3pm.

However, Spurs fans will then have to wait until at least December to see their side in action on a Saturday afternoon due to their Europa League commitments, plus television demands.

The clubs in England's top flight recently negotiated a lucrative broadcasting deal which will see clubs benefit from a huge financial windfall but, in turn, the biggest teams will see their respective schedules divided across several potential kick off times.

Pochettino has previously spoken of his gripe with the Sunday-Thursday schedule that his side faced last season and the north Londoners' are set to continue to be starved of football on a Saturday afternoon.
