Tottenham vs Manchester City
Premier League 2018/19
Venue: Wembley Stadium
Date: Monday, October 29
Kick-off: 8pm BST
Tottenham and Manchester City face off in a Premier League blockbuster on Monday night as Pep Guardiola's champions travel to Wembley to take on Mauricio Pochettino's title hopefuls.
City are top of the table but only by virtue of goal difference with Liverpool hot on their tails, while Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham all sit just two points behind the 2017-18 title winners.
Spurs may be staring at a potential early exit from the Champions League, but their domestic form has been encouraging despite failing to sign a single player in the summer transfer window.
Monday night's contest will not decide the destination of the title, though Pochettino has repeatedly called on his players to prove their credentials in big games like these as they bid to win their first trophy under the Argentine coach.
