Everton Vs Tottenham Hotspur

Jan 11 2:45pm ET: Everton Vs Tottenham

The nine days remaining games will kick off Everton Vs Tottenham Hotspur at their scheduled times, despite Prime Minister David Cameron suggesting games in London could start earlier than scheduled to assist the police.

"The Premier League has worked closely with the authorities and London-based clubs throughout the recent civil unrest to ensure matches are staged in accordance with supporter safety," read a Premier League statement.

Fulham play Aston Villa at Craven Cottage and QPR play Bolton at Loftus Road in the only other opening-round Premier League games in London.

Both matches are scheduled to kick off at 1500 BST on Saturday, although Mr. Cameron initially raised the prospect of altering start times.

"Other games in London should go ahead, but perhaps starting earlier in the day," said Cameron, adding that it was up to "the Premier League and the police" to make the decision.

Tottenham released a statement on their official website explaining that the match had been postponed because of "safety concerns relating to the infrastructure of the High Road and access to the stadium caused by last Saturday's riots".

"While all efforts were made to try and facilitate the Everton Vs Tottenham Hotspur match by the Metropolitan Police and the local authority, the situation on the Tottenham High Road proved too difficult to overcome."

Terry saddened by postponed matches

Everton's Australian midfielder Tim Cahill, who has lived in England for 14 years, has backed the decision.

"This is my family home, football will always be here and England should be proud of that," he said.

"The main thing is to make sure the local communities feel safe, and I feel the call for calm is just trying to make help people understand that rioting is not the way forward." So watch Everton Vs Tottenham live from White Hart Lane
