Harry Kane says Tottenham's English contingent can ensure Wembley becomes a home away from home in the Champions League.
Spurs return to Europe's elite club competition on Wednesday when they host Monaco but they will do so at Wembley, rather than White Hart Lane, and will play all their Champions League fixtures this season at the national stadium while they transform their ground.
The crowd is expected to set a new record for the largest attendance for a home Champions League game in Britain and Kane believes the likes of Kyle Walker, Danny Rose, Eric Dier, Dele Alli and himself can help Tottenham instantly settle in not-so-unfamiliar surroundings.
"If there are 85-90,000 Tottenham fans in there it's only going to make you play better," Kane said.
"A lot of us have played there already, so it feels like even more of a home. Everyone knows how iconic Wembley is, but that's what we've got to be careful of, Monaco are going to come here and it's a big occasion for them as well. We have to make sure we're ready for that."
Tottenham head into their Monaco meeting on a high after they thrashed Stoke 4-0 on Saturday, with Kane ending a nine-game goal drought by netting for the 50th time in the Premier League.
"The lads are excited and we wanted a good result here," he added. "Now we can go there on Wednesday and enjoy the record-breaking crowd; it's going to be an amazing atmosphere and the lads cannot wait to play in that one now.
"There's a buzz about that one and coming off the back of a 4-0 win you can't ask for much more. We have to prepare well for Wednesday now.
"We're not there just to participate. We want to go as far as we can, we feel we have a group that we can definitely qualify from. A good start is important."
Kane's strike came after Alli had also opened his account for the campaign and Heung-Min Son had netted a double at the bet365 Stadium.
And, unlike his English colleagues, the South Korean got his first taste of Wembley when Spurs trained there recently.
"For every player, it's a dream to play in the Champions League," the 24-year-old said. "For me also, it's two years since I played in the Champions League. I can't wait for this night.
"My first time I went training at Wembley, the stadium was unbelievable. I'm excited to play there, so many fans will be there and we have to win this game."
