Match Preview: Sunderland Vs Spurs

TEAM NEWS

Sunderland duo Didier Ndong and Lamine Kone could be involved after returning from the Africa Cup of Nations.

Papy Djilobodji begins a four-match ban, while Bryan Oviedo and Darron Gibson joined too late from Everton to be eligible on Tuesday.

Tottenham striker Harry Kane has recovered from the minor groin injury which ruled him out on Saturday.

Defenders Danny Rose and Toby Alderweireld are also fit, but Kieran Trippier is out with a hip problem.

WHAT THE MANAGERS SAY

Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino: “The three points are important for them but they are very important for us, and we have to be aware of the pressure that we need to win, because at the end of the season we need to fight for big things.

“It will bring us the possibility to improve our position and to be nearer the top of the table. So, it is a very important game.”
