Sunderland look to continue their superb league start to 2016 with a trip to White Hart Lane this weekend. Spurs only just managed to win the previous meeting between the sides, through a late Ryan Mason strike at the SoL, and the Black Cats will be out for revenge tomorrow lunchtime. Last time out the Black Cats won 4-2 at Swansea thanks to a Jermain Defoe hat-trick, a player who will be facing his former club tomorrow.

Venue – White Hart Lane
Referee – Mike Dean
Potential Sunderland Squad – Pantilimon, Pickford, Mannone, Matthews, Jones, O’Shea, Laing, Yedlin, Coates, Van Aanholt, Cattermole, Lens, Rodwell, Kirchoff Gomez, Toivonen, M’Vila, Johnson, Borini, Graham, Watmore, Fletcher.
Injuries: Kaboul (Hamstring), Larsson (Hamstring), Matthews (Ankle), N’Doye (Work Permit).
Potential Spurs Squad: Vorm, Lloris, Trippier, Wimmer, Davis, Vertonghen, Alderwiereld, Walker, Fazio, Rose, Dier, Dembele, Alli, Eriksen, Lamela, Mason, Bentaleb, Carroll, Onomah, Son, Chadli, Townsend, Kane.

Read Sunderland’s Prediction:
Sunderland will be very tired having played on Wednesday night but I’m hopeful that the Black Cats can grind out a draw.
