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

    Does this team look in need of a wildcard?

    Foster / Jakupovic

    Shaw / Stones / Williams / Amat / Friend

    Hazard / Sanchez / Redmond / Barkley / Capoue

    Ibra / Costa / Iheanacho

    Thoughts on this wildcard team ?

    Not too happy with Foster-Pickford combo and rather had Baines over Williams but think I'm pretty set on this bunch

    Foster - Pickford
    Valencia - Williams - Evans - Holebas - Amat
    Sanchez - Firmino - Sterling - Antonio - Capoue
    Aguero - Lukaku - Deeney
