This weekend sees Tottenham host Sunderland at White Hart Lane with much at stake for both teams.
Spurs go into the game off the back of a disappointing 1-0 home defeat at the hands of Leicester where they let slip the chance to leap-frog the Foxes into third place.
Mauricio Pochettino’s side will be looking to bounce back as they did when they lost to Newcastle in mid-December but will come up against a Sunderland side fresh off a 4-2 win at Swansea.
That victory was inspired by a Jermain Defoe hat-trick and the former striker will be hoping to inspire his new club to a win at his former stamping ground.
With this in mind, here’s a predicted XI for Saturday’s 12:45 kick-off.
