When asked if the team would try to get the game's date changed, Pochettino responded as follows, “It is difficult because it is not easy to change. We have to accept we are in England.
“I need to adapt myself and even if I am not happy I need to do my best to be in our best level and accept this is a situation we cannot change.”
Meanwhile, both teams pushed for an earlier kickoff time in an effort to lessen the effect on fans and their travel schedules the day before Christmas.
