Tottenham are putting back their new stadium launch date - again.

Spurs had been aiming to open the £1billion ground on March 17 with the London derby against Crystal Palace targeted.

But The Sun says the Eagles' victory over Doncaster today saw Roy Hodgson's side progress to the quarter finals of the FA Cup, which will be played between March 15 and 18.

That will see the Palace game rearranged and Spurs' first opportunity to move in to the new White Hart Lane put back to April.

A statement read: "Following Crystal Palace's FA Cup fifth round win today, our Premier League clash at home against Palace scheduled for Sunday 17 March will have to be rearranged."

The building work has reached a conclusion, with Spurs opening the doors to 6,000 fans last month.
