The teams that travel to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this season will notice something different in the venue than their previous trips.
Spurs have struggled to win in front of their home fans over the last couple of years, with the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium proving to be a happy hunting ground for opposition sides.
The Lilywhites’ inability to win at home with regularity has been the main reason why they have been on the wrong end of the table, and that is something Roberto De Zerbi will be keen to address.
The Italian will want to make the stadium a fortress, and the club have taken an interesting step to help the team do that.
Away changing room at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium stripped of its luxuries
Football.London’s Alasdair Gold has revealed that Spurs have looked into every little aspect of the club this summer in an attempt to shift the small one percenters in their favour.
To this effect, they have made some changes to the away changing room. Gold explains that the away changing room was already more basic than the home one, but the club have now further stripped it of any luxuries.
They have brought it in line with the kind of facilities they receive on their travels to other Premier League grounds in order to ensure that the trip to the venue is less of a grand day out for opponents.
The journalist shares that the away changing room at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is now just a big empty room with benches and pegs, with the tables being removed.
Spurs will be desperate to start their home campaign with a win
Tottenham were dominant against Charlton in the first home game of the season, but the real test is Premier League home form this season after an abysmal 2025/26.
If Spurs do harbour ambitions of competing for Champions League qualification, they need to consistently pick up wins at home.
De Zerbi and the Tottenham squad will be extremely aware of how important it is to set the tone by picking up some early home wins this season.
