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.

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

        Brought him in before his rise on my WC. Not keen on keeping him, just wondering which one would be preferable as a rotation with Capoue. 🙂

            So, Capoue 4th mid and Snodgrass 5th? Feels wrong.
            Can't handle any more bench points from Capoue, especially with those upcoming fixtures.

    This is how it looks so far;

    Foster / Jaku

    Sanchez / Firmino / Antonio / Snodgrass / Capoue
    Aguero / Lukaku / Slimani

    So in addition to my ML i'm in a H2H league with 3 other people.

    One of those 3 is heavily into FPL like me, so this was our 2nd H2H..

    We drew our first H2H on 58 points, we've drawn our 2nd H2H at 59 points. Each H2H we've had very different teams.

    The statistical likelihood of that must be off the charts lol.
