Upon being announced as an ambassador of the charity in February 2017, Alli said: 'I am honoured.


'Every day of the year the charity makes a positive difference to lives of children and families going through challenging times. 

'I am looking forward to supporting this amazing cause and helping to make life a little brighter for even more children.'

Ticket sales are fast closing in on the current record of 76,098 - set when Manchester United beat Blackburn 4-1 at Old Trafford in March 2007.

Of 158 sections at the 90,000-capacity national stadium, only five still have limited availability of tickets for the clash against struggling Bournemouth.

Tottenham are third in the Premier League with 14 points from seven games. Alli has scored three times in eight games for Tottenham so far this season.
