Eliminate all the days of the week except for one, and to be forthright about it, this day is NOT the day after Sunday or the day before Wednesday. It can't be that Saturday is tomorrow, nor can it be that Saturday was yesterday. It most certainly couldn't be two days before yesterday, and while we're at it, let's eliminate Thursday.

What day is it?

James lies on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, but he is honest on all other days.
Jonathan lies on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, but he tells the truth on all other days.

On what day of the week would they both say “Tomorrow, I will lie.”?
