Tottenham vs Sunderland: Prediction, live coverage, head to head, team news and betting odds - Premier League preview
Tottenham face Sunderland this weekend aiming to get over their Wembley disappointment.
Mauricio Pochettino's side came up short against a streetwise Monaco side and need to get back on track as quickly as possible.
The north Londoners will be expected to comfortably dispatch a Sunderland team lingering in the relegation zone but question marks remain over Tottenham's ability to bounce back from poor results.
Pochettino has much to mull over and the Argentine coach could look to freshen up his side as failure to secure all three points against the Black Cats would be likely to see Spurs cut adrift from the top four.
