Tottenham Expected To Play At Least One Match At Wembley In '18-19

Tottenham is set to announce on Thursday that it "will play at least one Premier League home game at Wembley next season due to delays in completing the construction" of its new £850M ($1.14B) stadium, according to Matt Hughes of the LONDON TIMES. It was revealed last month that the club "secured the right to return to the national stadium for a handful of matches," having used Wembley as its home for all of last season. That option has now been triggered, although the precise number of home games the club is "intending to move for remains unclear." Tottenham is planning an announcement to coincide with Thursday's publication of next season's Premier League fixtures, having been told by the EPL and the FA that it must inform them of its plans "by the fixture release date." The Premier League has given Tottenham the right to play its first three games away from home if required, as it has done for West Ham and Liverpool in recent seasons, but given that the club has "given up" on its new stadium "being ready in time" for the start of the next campaign, it "may opt to play at least one of these opening three fixtures at Wembley" (LONDON TIMES, 6/13).
