Tottenham Hotspur vs Sunderland 
Two losses in the Premier League have brought Spurs fans everywhere crashing down to earth. Although we seem to be sitting pretty at 5th spot in the league, last weekend's debacle at the Emirates was truly unbearable to watch. Add to the fact that we have not scored in the past 2 league games and you can sense a mini crisis on hand. We need to get back to our winning ways and it must start with Sunderland.
Defoe and Lennon should both be back in the starting lineup but Bassong is out with a groin injury. Modric is back in training but is probably a few games away from getting his match fitness back.
The bane of Spurs is that former players seem to have a knack for scoring against us so all eyes will be on Darren Bent's return to the Lane. In the same fixture last season, Sunderland came away with the win as goals from Kieran Richardson and Djilbril Cisse were enough to get the 3 points.
A word to those handling security at the Lane this Saturday; please make sure there are no blue beach balls near the Spurs end of the field. Darren Bent will be looking to ricochet a shot off one to get a goal against us.
With Sunderland winning only once away from home so far this season, I'm confident that Spurs will knick all 3 points and keep pace with the others in the top positions of the table.
COYS!
