Dugout Discussion – Tottenham vs Sunderland

A busy Sunday of football comes to its conclusion at White Hart Lane as Spurs and Sunderland go head-to-head in the 4.30pm kick-off.

The hosts’ 4-0 win over Stoke last weekend boosted out faith in the likes of Harry Kane and Dele Alli, yet their midweek Champions League loss to Monaco at Wembley suggests Mauricio Pochettino’s side have yet to hit top gear.

Christian Eriksen and Erik Lamela owners are left cursing their luck after the duo were named amongst the subs, with Mousa Dembele returning to the XI following a six-match suspension.

Certainly, the home side will be buoyed by their visitors’ second-half capitulation at home to Everton on Monday night.

The Black Cats have yet to win under David Moyes and, considering their current form, may well be lucky to avoid a repeat of the 4-1 reverse in the corresponding fixture last season.

      Probs the best player on the pitch. He was completely selfless. Hold up play was really good. Postioning was good too.

      Deserved a goal more than anyone.

      Palace played well on the ground today. Not a lot of crosses but benteke made it work for their attack in the final third.

      The million dollar question - same front line as me. Who's in form you have to ask yourself? Lukaku is on fire and Everton look good so he's staying for me. Benteke didnt get points today but looks like a decent cheapie - Palace look good also.

      Ibra? I have no doubt over his talent and ability to get points from nothing but Man Utd look at all sorts and his supply is poor. He is consistently getting points though.

      I'm either going Ibra + Ozil for Aguero and Firminho (like a lot on here are) or Benteke + Ozil to Aguero and some 4.4 mid and play Capoue every week (which will end in tears I know but I can't help making these bad decisions)
