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.

    What about Lukaku's injury?
    Could be a hamstring = 2 weeks out.

      Has there been any news on it? Thought it was a knock and they took a precaution subbing him.

    Any comments on this WC?:

    Pickford / Jakupovic
    Walker, Jagielka, Amat, Holebas, Evans
    Sanchez, Sterling, Firmino, Capoue, Antonio
    Agüero, Lukaku, Deeney

    Bit worried about having three Watford-players. But they have three tasty fixtures coming up.
    Could also have Mané and Negredo instead of Deeney and Firmino. But would need to take them in now.

        He always does that. It was the same against Arsenal, I think that was the only game he didn't score in and the Watford goal from the game resulted from Capoue's blocked shot that rebounded to Pereyra.

          They have options and maybe Bilic has written off the idea of him starting RB. Didn't he switch to RB though when Feghouli came on? Not sure how long Arbeloa is out for. West Ham have bigger problems with LB and Collins, imo.
