Tottenham Hotspur's new stadium is edging ever closer to completion and football.london took a trip to the site today.

A club announcement is expected later this week to provide an update on the work that has been taking place to rectify widespread issues with the problematic fire safety systems.

That announcement is expected to include details of test events. However, it unlikely that an opening match for the first match at the massive new 62,062-seater stadium will be announced yet.

Workers on site told football.london that they are still being told to aim for the March 17 match against Crystal Palace as the opening game for the new stadium.

However, if that is to be the opener, the club would be unable to announce it at this stage as should Crystal Palace win at Doncaster this month in the FA Cup, then the cup quarter-finals would be played on that date.

The next home league game is the match against Chris Hughton's Brighton & Hove Albion on April 6. However, that fixture could also be up in the air as Brighton take on West Brom in their FA Cup replay on Wednesday night and April 6 would be the weekend of the semi-finals should Hughton's men get that far.

We paid a visit to the new stadium today and here are 54 photos from inside and outside the ground:

Progress has been made on the east side of the building with the veil now almost complete, with just some sections being finished around the giant screen on the outside of the building, which mirrors the one on the west side.

Landscaping is also being completed on all sides of the building, while work was also taking place on snagging - small bits that needed fixing - in the media cafe and work area on Tuesday.

The building is beginning to resemble the final product and pedestrian access is now available to more than three-quarters of the stadium's perimeter.

The east stand held a Super Bowl event on Sunday night for executive season ticket holders while there is another event this week for more ticket holders to enter the building.

The rest of the fans will be hoping the announcement later this week provides more clarity on when they will be able to watch their first match at the new stadium.
