Spurs announced their decision via the Tottenham Hotspur Academy X account just hours before kick-off on Saturday 11 January, with a new date to be confirmed in due course against their direct rivals.
The reverse fixture saw an incredible comeback for the Lilywhites, with the opener from Callum Olusesi, and goals from Damola Ajayi and Gabriel Willhoft-King, with the latter two coming in the final few moments of the match.
Tottenham v Arsenal youth clash postponed
With the young Spurs side pushing to go top of the Premier League U18 table, this will be a huge blow for the gems who are just starting to get back into form.
Following back-to-back defeats to West Ham United and West Brom, the young Lilywhites are now unbeaten in their last three games in the league.
Having taken seven points from clashes against Leicester City, Chelsea and Norwich City, the team would have been heading into their clash against the Gunners with confidence.
If the previous meeting promised anything, it was goals, with Arsenal looking like all three points were theirs until the 87th minute, only to lose all three points in the first minute of added time.
Spurs have won all three of the last meetings between the London rivals, and a victory would have seen the Lilywhites go one point behind league leaders Aston Villa.
Ange Postecoglou, while cautious about promoting too many youngsters to the first team, has plenty of exciting options should he call upon the academy to solve his current crisis.
With Micky van de Ven, Cristian Romero, Destiny Udogie and Guglielmo Vicario all sidelined, it will be interesting to see which players are called up to face Tamworth on Sunday 12 January.
The likes of Mikey Moore, Alfie Dorrington and Will Lankshear show a clear path to the first team for all those dreaming youngsters.
