The Spurs were up for a couple of hours before the international break and the home win will send them to first place overnight.
Mourinho planned a win over Guardiola when these two teams met in February, but even the Spurs coach will likely admit his luck that day.
Tottenham vs Manchester City is scheduled to kick off at 5:30 pm GMT on Saturday, November 21, 2020.
The game will be played behind closed doors at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Television channel: The game will be televised on Sky Sports Main Event and Premier League, with coverage starting at 5:00 p.m.
Live broadcast: Sky Sports subscribers will be able to watch the game online via Sky Go and the app.
Tottenham will be able to call Steven Bergwijn again. The Dutch forward scored on his Spurs debut in the corresponding game last year, but missed the international break due to an unspecified injury, although it is disputed this weekend.
Erik Lamela (Achilles) is close to returning, while Matt Doherty isolates himself after testing positive for Covid-19 while in international service with the Republic of Ireland.
Tottenham provisional squad: Lloris, Hart, Gazzaniga, Aurier, Alderweireld, Dier, Sánchez, Rodon, Davies, Reguilon, Winks, Hojbjerg, Sissoko, Fernandes, Ndombele, Lo Celso, Alli, Bergwijn, Bale, Son, Kane, Vinicius.
City will check the fitness of record scorer Sergio Agüero and striker Raheem Sterling.
Aguero was out last month with a hamstring injury and Sterling withdrew from the England team earlier this week with a calf problem.
Captain Fernandinho, recently sidelined by a muscle injury, is already on leave after suffering from gastroenteritis. There are also doubts about defenders Nathan Ake and Benjamin Mendy.
Man City provisional squad: Ederson, Steffen, Walker, Dias, Laporte, García, Stones, Cancelo, Gundogan, Rodri, De Bruyne, Foden, Silva, Mahrez, Torres, Sterling, Jesus, Delap, Nmecha, Palmer, Doyle.
Prediction: Tottenham 2-2 Man City
This is Tottenham’s toughest test yet and the start of a streak of tough games. City have been poor so far, but they know how to turn it on against the best teams in the league – draw with Liverpool and beat Wolves and Arsenal.
The Spurs will likely rely on the fast break, but they may not have the defense to shut out City. A fun draw is our cry.
