Tottenham Hotspur manager Antonio Conte has admitted that the postponement of the Manchester City match has given his side an advantage.
Both the Premier League and EFL cancelled last weekend's programme as a mark of respect following the death of Queen Elizabeth II. The football authorities had been criticised for their decision, which saw City's game at home to Tottenham on Saturday afternoon being called off.
Both Spurs and City had played midweek Champions League fixtures in the build-up to the clash, securing 4-0 and 2-0 wins over Sevilla and Marseille respectively. However, Conte was not happy with the scheduling for the Premier League fixture, as he complained over a lack of preparation time owing to his side playing 24 hours later than Pep Guardiola's.
