Mauricio Pochettino has suggested he will ask West manager Slaven Bilic for advice about adapting to a new stadium when the teams meet on Friday evening.
Tottenham travel to the Olympic Stadium knowing a win over their London rivals will put them within a touching distance of Premier League leaders Chelsea.
Pochettino will be prioritising a good result, but the Spurs boss appears to have other important business on his mind.
In his pre-match press conference, the Argentine revealed he will use his meeting with Bilic to ask for advice about settling into a new home ground.
Pochettino: “It’s a great opportunity to listen to him (Bilic). It’s sure many questions will appear before or after the game.”
