Spurs game off, other nine to go ahead

Tottenham's clash at home to Everton on Saturday will be the only English Premier League match postponed due to the riots in London.

The Premier League have confirmed all other nine matches from Saturday to Monday will go ahead as scheduled, but White Hart Lane, located in the north of London, will not host a match this weekend.
Premier League chief executive Richard Scudamore confirmed the news on Thursday.
"The very latest situation is that Tottenham and Everton has gone," he said.
"The police have done a fantastic job, but it's been a crime scene all week and the council have not had enough time to do what they need."
"The other nine fixtures are looking positive, subject to any more trouble."
"At 6pm tonight we will have a very clear picture. The Tottenham game is a real shame but we support the police in what they are doing."
"They want these games to go on as much as we do."
A statement on Tottenham's official club website read: "Following ongoing discussions with the necessary authorities regarding this weekend's Premier League home match against Everton, it has now been confirmed that this fixture will be postponed due to safety concerns relating to infrastructure of the High Road and access to the stadium caused by last Saturday's riots."
"We apologise for any inconvenience caused to supporters due to matters outside of the control of the club."
"We shall update fans on when this fixture will be rearranged in due course."
Other matches to be played in London on Saturday are Fulham at home to Aston Villa and Queens Park Rangers hosting Bolton Wanderers.

The London riots, which started on Saturday, have claimed four lives and caused widespread damage across England.
