Manchester City's League Cup fourth-round tie at Tottenham Hotspur has been moved back a day after manager Kevin Keegan threatened to play a junior side, the English premier league club's website said on Monday.

City had faced the prospect of three games in six days before the League Cup match was postponed by 24 hours until December 3.

"I will have to decide if I send a junior team to White Hart Lane and just get out of the competition," Keegan told his club's website before the game was switched.

City play Poland's Groclin on November 27 in a UEFA Cup second round, second leg match and face Middlesbrough at home in the premier league on November 30.
