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

    A. Ibra to Kun, Hazard to Sterling, no hits.
    B. Ibra to Kun, Hazard to de Bruyne and Ozil to Firmino or Cazorla, -4pts.

    A or B??

      Unless penalties have been resolved (Sanchez's miss may have done so) not sure about Carzola at the moment.

      Not bad, actually a fair few touches in the box. Never looked overwhelmingly likely to get points though.

      Not a shadow on Townsend's performance though or Puncheon who benefitted from taking corners.
