Fixture Focus–Spurs (EPL, 7 April 2012)

Sunderland vs Tottenham Hotspur
A tricky, yet winnable away tie to start the Easter weekend for us.

Sunderland have been in good form recently and came away from the Etihad Stadium last weekend with a draw.  That speaks volumes about how well coached this side is under Martin O’Neill.  The Black Cats have lost only just one of their last 8 league matches at home.  Key injuries being monitored include Lee Cattermole and Frazier Campbell.

The Easter weekend always require the juggling of the squad to keep players fresh.  This is especially crucial for Spurs as we have another tie on Monday against Norwich followed by an FA Cup semi-final the next weekend at Wembley against resurgent Chelsea.  This is crunch time and I am hopeful that we will show a degree of mental toughness so strong that we will finish the season exceptionally well.

COYS!!!
