Spurs hoping to put a difficult week behind them on Premier League Live

Tottenham will have to get used to Wembley for a little while longer, after delays in the construction of their new 62,000 seater stadium.

After a slow start at the national stadium last season - failing to win any of their first three games -  Mauricio Pochettino's side eventually turned it into a home away from home, winning 13 of their remaining 16 league matches there, helping them to another top four finish. 
 
It was a quiet summer for them, becoming the first Premier League team to make no signings in a summer transfer window since its introduction in 2003. But while they didn't add to the side, they do appear to have fended off interest in Harry Kane for the time being, with the England captain singing a new six-year contract, prior to his six goal haul at the World Cup finals in Russia.
 
After opening their account with a scrappy 2-1 win against Newcastle last Saturday, they host Fulham in this week's feature game on Premier League Live with Sky Sports. Ian Beach and Brian Kerr will be our commentary team at Wembley, with John Duggan presenting all the build up from 2pm on Today FM.
 
Fulham produced a stunning charge in the second half of last season to end their four year exile from the top flight, and judging by their summer business, manager Slavisa Jokanovic appears to have lofty ambitions. Calum Chambers and Timothy Fosu Mensah have arrived on loan from Arsenal and Manchester United, while former Chelsea forward Andre Schurrle is also a loan acquisition from Dortmund.
 
They've opened the wallet too; they smashed their transfer record to buy the sought-after Jean Michael Seri from Nice. Aleksandar Mitrovic made his loan move from Newcastle permanent, André-Frank Zambo Anguissa was a 22 million pound signing from Marseille, while Alfie Mawson joined from relegated Swansea upwards of 15 million pounds.
 
It wasn't much use to them on the opening day though, going down 2-0 to Crystal Palace at Craven Cottage, but given the number of players who arrived late in the transfer window, it could take a few weeks for their new group of players to get the correct blend.
 
As well as bringing you all the action from Wembley, we have reporters at every Premier League ground this Saturday, to keep you right up to date with the day's play.
 
And from 5.30, Sky Sports favourite Chris Kamara will sit down with John Duggan to talk about his career in football and broadcasting. It promises to be UNBELIEVABLE!
