The first competitive game at Tottenham Hotspur’s new stadium as their Under-18s take on Southampton in the league.

Tottenham’s new stadium is set to be one of the best in the world
Certain certificates are needed for Spurs to be able to play the Eagles in N17 on April 3 and the Under-18s will provide the perfect first test event, allowing supporters to get a glimpse of their future, in more ways than one, before around 50,000 watch a legends side take on Inter Milan on Saturday, March 30.
Tottenham’s Under-18s are currently four points behind Arsenal in the title race but will be without several key players due to internationals and injury.
Troy Parrott is one notable absentee, while defender Luis Binks is one of players unavailable due to a national call-up.
So who should supporters be looking out for as they get used to their new home? Find out below.

Brooklyn Lyons-Foster
A fine ball-playing centre-back, he links well with the midfielders ahead of him and keen academy observers are impressed by his calmness and his decisiveness.
He’s represented England at youth level while he’s also versatile enough to play at full-back if needed.

Harvey White
The 17-year-old trained with the first-team on his birthday back in September and could get the chance to impress again at the new Stadium.
He had an impressive goal-scoring record with the Under-16s last season, netting eight.
This season he’s scored four goals and grabbed eight assists for the Under-18s and in his 13 appearances. It’s likely he’ll be on set-pieces.
Armando Shashoua
Captain for the day is set to be midfielder Sashoua, whose brother Sam is currently out on loan at Atletico Baleares.
Sashoua told the club’s official website: “It was one of the most exciting things I’ve heard since I’ve been at the club, and I’ve been here a while!
“I’ve been here for 10 years, so I really feel I’m part of the club and to be part of the game that makes history by being the first at such a special stadium is a great feeling.â€
He lived in Russia with his family for two years as a child before returning to the UK.

Dilan Markanday
According to Tottenham Hotspur youth expert Chris Miller, speaking on The Fighting Cock’s ‘Extra Inch’ show, Markanday is one of the stars of the group.
He said: “I guess you would compare him to Marcus Edwards, partly due to his size but also stylistically there is a similarity there.
“He’s got lovely close control, he loves to run with the ball but, slightly different to Edwards, Markanday will tend to pop up in the centre of the penalty box and get shots away.â€
Will he get the first goal at the new White Hart Lane?
Maurizio Pochettino
Nepotism or natural talent? Supporters have often wondered whether the youngster – son of first-team boss Mauricio – has the ability to be in the Under-18 squad, so a good display on the right wing, or off the bench, could do him the world of good.
He joined the club as a scholar in 2017 and has two goals and an assist from 10 appearances this campaign across all competitions.
