It's all systems go at Tottenham this week as the club prepare their new 62,062-seater stadium ahead of the first of two test events to be held there in front of increasing attendances.

A Spurs legends team coached by Gary Mabbutt and Clive Allen and featuring the likes of Jurgen Klinsmann, Darren Anderton, Robbie Keane, Rafael van der Vaart and Dimitar Berbatov are scheduled to take on Inter Milan on March 30, but before then Tottenham's U18s will have the honour of being the first team to play at the new White Hart Lane on Sunday.

First-team manager Mauricio Pochettino will be a special guest as John McDermott's side battle Southampton in an U18 Premier League fixture, with both test events mandatory to ensure that Tottenham - exiled at Wembley for almost two full seasons - earn the necessary safety certificate from Haringey Council.

Supporters no doubt already looking forward to stepping inside the new stadium after a host of delays will have seen their excitement further boosted by the release of the latest batch of impressive pictures.

The new snaps are focused primarily upon the exterior, concourses, bars and food outlets at the plush venue, which, all being well, will host its first official senior fixture on April 3 as capital rivals Crystal Palace make the short trip to north London in the Premier League.

Spurs then host Manchester City in the first leg of their all-English Champions League quarter-final a week later before further home contests against Huddersfield, Brighton, West Ham and Everton before the end of the 2018-19 campaign.
