Sunderland return home play host to Tottenham Hotspur in the only Premier League fixture set for this weekend. The Black Cats are coming off of a loss away from home while Spurs picked up a huge win at home.
The home side Sunderland are presently in 14th place of the Premier League log with 31 points and sit just behind this week's opponent Tottenham Hotspur on goal difference. In their last match the side managed by Ricky Sbragia lost away to the Reds of Liverpool by a score of 2-0 at Anfield Road. Sunderland will not be able to count on the injured Connolly, Anderson, McShane, Tainio and Nosworthy for this game.
The visiting Tottenham Hotspur were able to hold serve at home on Wednesday as they scored a lopsided victory over Middlesbrough by a score of 4-0 at White Hart Lane. It was small consolation for the side managed by Harry Redknapp as they had suffered a heart breaking loss to Manchester United on penalty kicks just 3 days earlier in the Carling Cup final. Tottenham Hotspur will be without Defoe and Hutton.
