Premier League takes on the X-Factor this weekend

He's coming for you Cowell

Television viewers will have to make the difficult choice between watching Simon Cowell or Harry Kane on Saturday evening as the Premier League game between Wolves and Tottenham kicks-off at 7:45pm.

The Saturday prime-time slot is a relatively new one for the Premier League and the game was originally scheduled for the afternoon of Sunday 4 November, but changed due to Spurs’ involvement in the Champions League.

The London side take on PSV Eindhoven on Tuesday November 6 at 8pm in Wembley and the Saturday evening kick-off will give Spurs more time to recover.

It’s the second time this calendar year that Tottenham have been involved in a Saturday evening game as they hosted Manchester City in the same time slot back in April, a game they lost 3-1.

Premier League organisers will have a keen eye on the reaction Saturday’s game, as from next season 7:45pm weekend kick-offs will become a regular feature with eight matches over the course of the season pencilled in for that time-slot.
