Antonio Conte and his Tottenham team can now add a new date to the diary following confirmation from the Premier League regarding their trip to Manchester City. Originally pencilled in to be played on Saturday, September 10, all league fixtures in England were postponed as a mark of respect following the passing of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II.
With very little room in the calendar as it is due to the packed schedule to accommodate the 2022 World Cup taking place during the season, question marks have surrounded when exactly the cancelled round of games will be played. On Monday evening the Premier League confirmed new dates for two of the postponed fixtures, with Tottenham's visit to the Etihad Stadium being one of them.
The game will now take place at 8pm on Thursday, January 19. However, the showdown is subject to neither team being in an FA Cup third round replay, with Man City hosting Chelsea and Tottenham taking on League One side Portsmouth the weekend before.
