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.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Walker on for 2 Bonus.

    Looks like Baines isn't worth it. However, fixtures look good.

        Which other 5.5 or less looks good value?

      3. Bubz

        Why?

    2. Davido989
      • 15 Years

      Eyeing up that transfer if Everton concede to Bournemouth.

    3. Guba

      To be fair poor referee decision robbed Baines off his clean sheet. Had that not happened it would be a slightly different story. Baines was a good move

  2. Davido989

    9 years, 4 months ago

    I know Capoue is doing great, but Pereyra at 6m looks a good pick. Returns in all of his appearances iirc. 🙂

    1. PvA
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      He is a good pick too, I'd only have 1 of them in my team

      1. Davido989
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        I may go Pereyra as I need a placeholder in the price region.

      Agreed, especially with those juicy fixtures coming up

  3. ean013

    A little annoying that Bony doesn't get the assist. Especially since McArthur gets the goal.

    If I'm going to be ultra critical, Lamela wears far too much eye liner for a bloke.

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      He has the best jaw line in football.

      Get Walker on WC? Isn't he a massive rotation threat

      1. Flynny
        • 10 Years

        I reckon so...

            • 16 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            Evans doesn't seem to believe he can claw his way back. The guy beat Wawrinka... he needs to step up and be counted!

            1. Total Foot 5
              • 12 Years

                  cheers thnx mate...will email you

                  you play tennis for a while? Mayer just served his arse off, hes ranked 100+ thot evans would have done the job.

                  1. GinjaWhinja
                    • 16 Years
                    9 years, 4 months ago

                    Yeah I've been a keen bean for many years but pretty awful myself haha.

                    Mayer played well but Evans should be really disappointed that he didn't play at his rhythm and Murray too for not getting past Del Potro's insanely good forehand.

          2. GinjaWhinja
            • 16 Years

          Which of these makes most sense??

          1) Hazard + Ibra-->Sterling + AGuero
          2) Barkley + Ibra--> Snoddy + Aguero
          3) Hazard + Barkley + Rondon--> Snoddy + Bench fodder + Aguero(-4) and play Capoue+Ibra every week

            • 10 Years

            Bolasie, although I would consider Tadic as a differential

          3. HNI
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            Bolasie for 2 weeks then switch to SNoddy

        9. PvA
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          I should've captained Capoue

        10. Alisson WondHaaland
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          A)Mane+Antonio

          My KANE v IHEANACHO decision was pretty irrelevant in the end.
