Tottenham vs. Manchester City 'to be played on Monday Oct. 29' - report
Barcelona are the clear favourites in Group B of the Champions League, but the FC crew think Tottenham could struggle to finish ahead of Inter Milan. Tottenham took control of the second half at Manchester United, burying three goals in the Theatre of Dreams to up the pressure on Jose Mourinho. Jose Mourinho reacts to Manchester United's 3-0 loss at home against Tottenham, and heaps praise on the fans at Old Trafford.
Tottenham and Manchester City have agreed to move their Premier League fixture to Monday Oct. 29, as reported by The Times.
Ongoing delays at Spurs' new stadium means the game cannot be played there as initially scheduled, and their temporary home at Wembley is in use on the originally scheduled weekend of Oct. 27-28.
City were reportedly unwilling to reverse the fixture as this would cause a pile-up of successive away games for them later in the season, and so the clubs have agreed to play the game at Wembley a day later than planned.
Spurs have already had to move games against Liverpool and Cardiff to Wembley, where they will also play at least one Champions League group game.
Giorgio Marchetti, UEFA's deputy secretary general, said of the stadium issue: "In principle the regulations state that you have to play in a single stadium, but we will have to see."
Delays in building the new ground has also led to Spurs applying to the EFL for special dispensation to play their Carabao Cup third-round tie with Watford at Stadium MK as Wembley is unavailable.
