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

    If you are getting/keeping Sterling in your WC, I feel having Capoue is great insurance in case Sterling gets the occasional rest/rotation.

      Should be fine for now with Nolito suspended too. Looks too good an option to ignore.

    Thinking about making the following changes for -4pt.
    Hazard - Barry
    Grabban - Aguero

    To have Ibra, Aguero and Costa up front.

    My current team is:
    Foster (Heaton)
    Willams, Evans, Bellerin (Collins, Smith)
    Hazard, Ozil, Antonio, Capoue, Zaha
    Costa, Ibra (Grabban)

    What do people think? Thanks

    Trying to fit Aguero in somewhere but can't decide whether to stick with Ibra and/or Hazard. Any suggestions would be massively appreciated 🙂

    Which one of the following do you guys think would be best?

    Foster - Heaton
    Baines - Walker - McCauley - Gobson - Amat
    Lallana - Snodgrass - Antonio - Sanchez - Capoue
    Deeney - Ibra - Kun

    Hazard > Lallana
    Benteke > Kun
    Lakaku > Deeny

    -8 and 0.7 ITB

    OR

    Foster - Heaton
    Baines - Walker - McCauley - Gobson - Amat
    Firmino - Snodgrass - Antonio - Sanchez - Capoue
    Deeney - Lakaku - Kun

    Hazard > Firmino
    Benteke > Deeny
    Ibra > Kun
