Tottenham<\/a> midfielder Steven Pienaar<\/a> has admitted he is looking forward to the challenge of facing his former club Everton<\/a> in the first game of the Premier League<\/a> season.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Premier League fixtures were announced last week with Pienaar facing off against his former employers for the first time since his move to Spurs in January.<\/span><\/p>\n

The South African international spent four years with the Merseyside club before moving on and he admits that it will be interesting facing his old club.<\/span><\/p>\n

He told the Tottenham\u2019s official website: \u201cIt will be the first time I\u2019ve faced Everton since moving to Spurs, I\u2019m looking forward to it and I hope we take all three points to get a positive start to the season.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s always difficult when you face your old club but you have to stay focused.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a game that will test you mentally because you know all the players, the staff and what that club is all about.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s the first game of the season and our supporters will want us to go all-out, especially at home.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cFor us though, the key is to be patient, open them up and when we do, make sure we take our chances.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
