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.

    Quick question guys. Worth Haz & Ibra > Aguero & Mane with my 2FT's?

    Team would then be:

    Heaton
    Evans - Baines - Valencia
    Mirallas - Sanchez - Mane - Antonio
    Benteke - Aguero - Lukaku
    ____________________________
    Robinson: Capoue, Masuaku, Amat

    Mirallas can then become Snodgrass the week after, as can Masuaku > Holebas etc.

    Sound ok? Any help much appreciated.

    How did Benteke look today? Really struggling with my 3rd forward choice - considering 3-5-2, or going big and heavy up top - Aguero / Lukaku / Costa..

    Any thoughts? Up to around 8.5m.

      Nervous about Sterling rotation generally but the Nolito ban should help ensure his playing time for next 2-3, so I'd say Sterling.
