Spurs will play a further four Premier League matches at their new ground, as well as the home leg of their Champions League quarter-final tie against Manchester City – guaranteeing a minimum six fixtures at the stadium this season. Should the north Londoners progress past City into the Champions League semi-finals, the stadium will also host the home leg of that fixture, taking the match total up to seven.Fans are understandably delighted to be returning home after an extended spell at Wembley, but the players are allegedly not so keen on the move to the new stadium.
