While the first leg is on April 10, the second leg will see spurs travelling to Manchester on April 18.
Manchester City who are currently on top of the Premier League table will also face Spurs in the league on April 20, three days after their UCL second leg clash as they aim to keep their one-point lead with second-placed Liverpool.
In a span of 10 days, the sides will face each other on three occasions.
Mauricio Pochettino's Spurs will be hoping for their star striker Harry Kane to rise to the occasion and put up a promising show. While Pep Guardiola's task will be cut out as Manchester City are aiming for the quadruple this season. He will be hoping Aguero recovers completely from his injury concerns.
