Fixture Focus–Spurs (EPL, 18 December 2011)

Tottenham Hotspur vs Sunderland

The win in midweek against Shamrock Rovers has got us back into winning ways.  This weekend we take on Sunderland at the Lane and the stats are with us.  We have been unbeaten at the home for the last 5 premier league matches while Sunderland have won just one of their last 7 league matches.

A rejuvenated Sunderland team under new coach Martin O’Neil will fancy their chances after their win last week against Blackburn.  Spurs will not have the services of Kaboul as he serves his ban from last weekend’s red card while up front, ‘arry will have to decide who will partner Adebayor.  In-form Defoe will be banging for a start after helping us win in midweek.

I think this match is winnable and we surely need the 3 points to keep pace with the leaders and leapfrog Chelsea into 3rd place again.

COYS!!!
