The Premier League clash looks set to be played on a ruined surface after a money-spinning American football clash at the home of football 24 hours earlier.
Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott revealed the players will have to deal with a "beat up" pitch after his trip to London.
The American football star claimed the surface was substandard even before their game.
Spurs face City at Wembley just 24 hours after an NFL contest between the Eagles and the Jacksonville Jaguars after chairman Daniel Levy confirmed more delays in opening their new stadium.
The home of English football has already hosted an NFL match this month between the Seattle Seahawks and the Oakland Raiders and football fans have widely ridiculed the "dire" state of the pitch.
Pep Guardiola has already expressed his satisfaction about facing Mauricio Pochettino there, with the rough ground sure to disrupt City’s stylish tiki-taka approach.
In a further blow to Tottenham, Eagles kicker Elliott, who helped his side to a 24-18 victory, slammed the Wembley turf by stressing the standard was below what he was accustomed to.
He told Omnisport: "I'm not gonna lie, it was a little beat up.
"It was a little muddy in the middle. But it was a cool experience to play here.
"It was something that we played around with pre-game and tried to get used to.
"They definitely were different conditions. You've got to make adjustments and try to make the kicks."
Elliot, who is used to kicking in NFL-specific stadiums in America, added: "We use those fields once a week and [they are used] just for [American] football."
"They're in a little better condition, obviously, just thicker grass, a different type of turf."
