Tottenham Hotspur vs. Stoke City: how to watch EPL online, live stream, tv listings, lineups

Tottenham fans! Are you Stoked? I know you are! Tottenham Hotspur open their 2015-16 season at White Hart Lane with a match against the Potters of Soke City, newly rejuvenated and somehow optimistic that they can be good this season.

Tottenham have Hugo Lloris, Danny Rose, and Ryan Mason back and healthy, and they're hoping to put some goals on the scoreboard today against a Stoke side that, while good, doesn't have the same kind of relentless press that Manchester United utilizes.

Stoke are coming off of a last-gasp 1-0 home loss to Liverpool last weekend, while Spurs also lost 1-0 to Manchester United at Old Trafford. The Potters are without new signing Xherdan Shaqiri as he serves a suspension picked up last season in the Coppa Italia, but do have Mame Biram Diouf up top, former Liverpool player Glen Johnson, and Barcelona exile Ibrahim Affellay. Don't think that the Potters will just roll over.

But we ain't scared. After all, the only person I know who was ever afraid of a Potter was Lord Voldemort.

COYS!

Match thread rules:

New season, but the same old match rules. To any visitors coming here for the first time, welcome! We're glad you're here! Wipe your feet, mind the gap, and be sure to check out the other pages at this outstanding site. While you're here, though, we have a few rules and regulations.

• Absolutely no links to illegal streams. They're bad and they get us in trouble. Violators will be warned or banned.
  
  
• We have rules against "relentless negativity." Nobody likes a Negative Nancy. Don't knee-jerk and post outlandish or hurtful things just because you're frustrated.
  
  
• Along those lines, outright abuse of players or match officials is verboten. It's fine to say "wow, that's a bad call, match official," but it's NOT okay to direct copious amounts of abuse in the direction of said official over a call you did not like.
  
  
• Treat other people in the match thread the way you would want someone else to treat your grandmother. Be nice. Observe Wheaton's Law. This is a community of fans, not an un-moderated message board.
  
  
• Finally, while we don't have a rule against profanity, please try and keep the naughty words in check. Nobody loves a potty mouth. Also, language that is sexist, racist, or homophobic in nature will be swiftly deleted and you will be immediately banned. This is an open, supportive community.
  
  
• Have fun, and COYS!
