Liverpool’s trip to Tottenham next month has been moved to Wembley.
The North Londoners were originaly due to welcome Jurgen Klopp’s side for the inaugural match at their new purpose-built stadium on September 15.
But delays to the completion of the Northumberland Development Project has shifted the Reds’ fixture to Wembley, where Spurs played last season.
Tottenham’s home game with Cardiff City on October 6 will also take place at the national stadium due to what is being described as safety concerns.
“Recent testing and commissioning has now shown issues with the critical safety systems,” read a club statement.
“We are reviewing the situation and planned timetable to rectify and re-test, after which we shall be in a better position to outline a revised timetable.
“The delays created by these difficulties mean that we can no longer hold the necessary test events on 27 August and 1 September.
“These will need to be rescheduled to take place ahead of any first official match at the new stadium in order to achieve the safety licence.”
Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy added: “We know this will be disappointing for all our season tickets holders, premium members and our fans worldwide.
“At the start of the project we asked for your support during what we knew would be a complex and challenging build and now we ask for your continued patience and forbearance.”
