• Tottenham have won two of their last three home games and seem to be improving at home following a slow start.

Sunderland

Key Players

• Richarlison has scored seven Premier League goals for Tottenham in 2025/2026, including two goals from his last five games, while Wilson Isidor has four Premier League goals for Sunderland this season.
• Dan Ballard has been a linchpin in Sunderland’s ability to stay compact and avoid conceding too many goals on the counter away from home.
