New Tottenham stadium: Dimitar Berbatov reveals how he has been preparing for Spurs legends game

Excitement is growing ahead of the opening of the new Tottenham stadium.

The £1billion complex will officially open its doors for the Premier League game with Crystal Palace on Wednesday, April 3.

But prior to that there are two big test events to look forward to, in order for Spurs to gain the safety certificate needed to officially open.

The first of those takes place tomorrow as the U18s take on Southampton in front of an expected crowd of 30,000.

Then, it's the turn of Tottenham legends, who will take on Inter Milan's legends on Saturday, March 30.
