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

    With all the annoying resting due to European games likely to hit hard in the next couple of months is holding Hazard possibly a clever move despite his bad form?

    Strong chance to play every game and avoid massive headaches.

      You can get him back when he looks bothered.

      Chelsea fans on the fan YouTube channel are saying he's back to not being bothered, interested etc.
