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.

      A) Lukaku + Sterling

        Dreadful refereeing

    • TJ_777
      • 11 Years

      Pickford having a great game unlucky to concede the first goal

    • Vamonos

      Gone for double Swansea defenders so that I can get the following WC team in:

      Foster (Jak)
      Shaw Williams Friend Amat, Kingsley
      Sterling Sanchez Capoue Antonio Firmino
      Aguero Lukaku Benteke

      Thoughts? Would you change anyone? The WC was played to take on Hazard, Ibra, Stones, Ozil > Williams, Sanchez, Sterling, Aguero

      Yes I realise the Capoue issue but I can decide that as and when (finally brought him into starting 11 for this weekend thankfully - although needn't have with Fimino out)

      Lamela has looked so bright since he came on. Too bad it's a rotation risk

    • tm245
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Eriksen owners safe.

      Simple Question. Coutinho or Firminho?

      1. Sánchez
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Firmino

    • The Abyss
      • 12 Years

      Would you rather sacrifice Ibrahimovich or Hazard to bring Aguero back in??

        Ibra,Aguero will make up for the loss and you could always swap out Haz > Sanchez or KDB
