Sunderland face Tottenham Hotspur on Tuesday night in the Premier League, and HITC pundits give their predictions on the likely outcome.
Sunderland 0-2 Tottenham
Sunderland are giving it their all to survive in the Premier League, but there is one problem facing them this evening, they simply aren’t good enough to beat Tottenham. Spurs need to show a reaction after a poor display against Wycombe, and should see Sunderland off without much drama.
Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino
Sunderland 1-3 Tottenham
Just when you think the Black Cats are going to use up another of their many lives, a dismal loss at West Brom hinted that their luck could finally run out. Harry Kane will relish attacking a wobbling defence short of the suspended Papy Djilobodji.
Sunderland manager David Moyes
Sunderland 0-2 Tottenham
Sunderland’s January transfer business hasn’t inspired much confidence, and Tottenham are in excellent form in the league. It’s important that Spurs are ruthless in these kind of games and I think they will be. David Moyes’ side have lost a key defender and are still without Victor Anichebe, it should be a routine away win.
Sunderland 1-2 Tottenham
Sunderland need wins, and soon, but Tottenham are pushing hard at the top of the table and they have the fire power to leave the Stadium of Light with all three points.
Sunderland 1-3 Tottenham
Tottenham are the Premier League’s form team, and will fancy their chances away to a Sunderland team who have disappointed recently despite a brief improvement in results. If Spurs are serious about challenging Chelsea, they need three points.
Tottenham’s Dele Alli, Danny Rose and Vincent Janssen
Sunderland 0-2 Tottenham
Sunderland may have had the weekend off, but refreshment can only do so much for a squad as poor as theirs. Spurs had a scare against Wycombe, but their league form is almost flawless of late. This should be a routine victory.
