Fixture: Tottenham Hotspur vs Sunderland
Competition: Premier League
Kick-off: 16:30 (UK time)
Tottenham Hotspur have officially announced their starting line-up and substitutes to play host to struggling Sunderland at White Hart Lane in a Premier League clash this afternoon.
Mauricio Pochettino's side head into the game on the back of a midweek Champions League defeat against Ligue 1 side Monaco and will be keen to return to winning ways today. Victory for Spurs over Sunderland would push them up to third in the standings, after five games.
To put Sunderland to the sword on home turf, Pochettino selects Harry Kane to lead the attack, with Heung-Min Son, Dele Alli and Moussa Sissoko providing support. Moussa Dembele and Victor Wanyama will look to dominate in the middle of the park, while Eric Dier steps back to partner Toby Alderweireld in the heart of defence. Jan Vertonghen has shifted out to left-back.
Pochettino can call for Vincent Janssen off the bench if he needs to bring on another striker, while Christian Eriksen and Erik Lamela are also amongst the substitutes. Harry Winks, fresh off a new contract, is another option.
