Fixture Focus - Spurs (17 Jan 2015)

Tottenham Hotspur vs Sunderland AFC

Spurs will play host to Sunderland, currently 16th in the table. And the visitors might spring a surprise (later on I will tell you....).

Coming from behind to win the FA Cup fixture during midweek, Pochettino would want to get the winning momentum going. Lamela and Mason are still out due to injury and we might see Soldado going back to the bench, as he still can't find his scoring groove back, although he did assist in a couple of goals against Burnley.

Poyet would want the Black Cats to stay away from the dreaded relegation zone as far as possible, and he may be trying to get some league points from his old workplace. Regulars Fletcher and Cattermole would be trying to get their fitness assessed to face off against us.

And yes, what is the surprise about. The surprise package is....Defoe. "Rumour" has it that he is coming back from across the Atlantic to join Sunderland, and he might make it for this weekend fixture.

I sense a good game coming up. COYS!!!!
