What a time to be meeting a tricky fixture!
Sunderland have a great record at the Stadium of Light with a run of 7 unbeaten games at home. But having won only 2 of their last 19 league fixtures, you would think that there’s nothing to worry about for Spurs right? Wrong!.
Sunderland are unbeaten against Spurs at home in their last 4 matches and ex-Spurs players like Malbranque and Darren Bent (especially the latter) will want to prove a point against their former team.
Spurs are boosted by the impending return of top scorer Jermaine Defoe and it will be interesting to see if he gets the starting nod over in-form strikers like Pavlyuchenko and Gudjohnsen. Redknapp will no doubt rest Palacios as the danger of a 2 match suspension from another yellow card will mean he will miss the FA Cup semi-final next weekend.
With that said, the boys just need to concentrate and focus on this game. I am cautiously hopeful that we will continue our string of good results.
COYS!
