When playing against a side as good as Pep Guardiola's Manchester City, Tottenham must take whatever edge they can get and it turns out a Monday kick-off (Tuesday AEDT) could be the advantage they're after.
While a tough day for most, Spurs have won seven and lost none of their last nine Premier League games played on Monday, with their last loss dating back to April 2012.
Tottenham also have home ground advantage on their side and have developed a strong record at Wembley of late having lost just two of their past 21 Premier League matches at the venue.
Unfortunately for Mauricio Pochettino's men, that's where the good news ends with Pep Guardiola's side in stunning form.
Unbeaten in 15 straight Premier League matches, conceding just six goals across that span, Manchester City are on a roll and haven't shown any real signs of slowing this season.
City also boast a very strong record against Spurs having won 10 of their last 15 encounters and have taken a liking to playing in London - winning their past four games in the capital.
Guardiola and Pochettino are two of the finest managers in world football at the moment, but it's the Spaniard with a very real edge over his Argentine counterpart.
The Manchester City mastermind has lost just two of his past 13 matches against Pochettino and is closing in on a third straight win against him.
Sergio Aguero is one man you'd expect to feature heavily against Spurs having already found the back of the net four times this season, but he has however drawn blank in his past five matches against Tottenham.
That record is one Spurs simply must keep in tact if they stand any hope of continuing their fine Monday form and finding a way to stop the juggernaut that is Manchester City.
