Tottenham play their first Premier League game at Wembley when they host Chelsea live on Sky Sports this Sunday - but which stadium records could Spurs break this season?
The London club ended 118 years at White Hart Lane in May with a 2-1 win over Manchester United, capped with a rainbow arched over the old stadium as the players embarked on a lap of honour.
Three months on, Spurs begin their temporary residency under Wembley's arch while the development of their new ground is completed.
Mauricio Pochettino guided his side to their highest top-flight finish in 54 years as runners-up in the Premier League last term, with the club undefeated at White Hart Lane.
Tottenham used Wembley for their European fixtures and achieved a club record attendance of 85,011 during their 2-1 defeat to Monaco in September - their sixth defeat out of 10 competitive fixtures at the venue.
