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

            Teams dont change systems on weekly basis. You pick one and stick by it which in this case is 4-2-3-1

      If I WC, what are the best tips to make the most of team value?

      Is it worth selling all players who are falling and bringing in risers today, even if you have no intention of them being in your team by deadline? Or does it not work like that?

        They need to rise twice or it's pointless.

              Last time I checked I thought Sterling was rising at a higher % than KDB?

          Capoue will definitely double rise but I guess already own
