It has been a good season so far for Sunderland but over the last month or so their form has dipped somewhat. That will be something that Tottenham are aware of and they will look to take advantage of it when they head north this Saturday.
Manager Steve Bruce opted for three centre-backs in his side’s 3-2 loss against Stoke City and is likely to revert to his more familiar 4-5-1 formation for this game, with a tossup between John Mensah and Anton Ferdinand partnering Titus Bramble at the heart of the Sunderland defence.
Tottenham will therefore have slightly more reason for optimism when they kick-off on Wearside, well aware that in five visits since winning in September 2001 they have failed to sample success.
Possible starting XI: Gordon; Onuoha, Bramble, Mensah, Bardsley; Elmohamady, Henderson, Richardson, Muntari, Sessegnon; Gyan.
Possible starting XI: Gomes; Corluka, Gallas, Dawson, Assou-Ekotto; Lennon, Palacios, Jenas, Pienaar; Crouch, Defoe.
