Two clubs in opposite halves of the Premier League table will do battle today in a league match between Tottenham Hotspur and Queens Park Rangers. The first-division clash scheduled for 8:30 a.m. ET will be held at White Hart Lane in London and can be live streamed here free.
Ahead of today's encounter, Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino stressed the importance of impressing the home crowd this afternoon. "I am looking forward to it [our home opener]," Pochettino said (via the Daily Mail). "We are looking forward to it, my first official game at White Hart Lane in front of our supporters. We hope that it would be a good game and always to win. It is important to win and play well and develop our style and improve, which is important in each game. Try to improve."
After capturing a victory in Week 1, the aesthetics, not the results, need improvement.
