Match forecast
Sunderland, despite being at home, are the underdogs here. Their situation has even worsened thanks to their injury concerns, while their opponents are set to welcome back key players from injury. The presence of Harry Kane, who has 13 goals in 17 appearances so far in the league, could cause even more problems for the Black Cats' defenders.
Another fact is that Pochettino's men have only failed to win one of their last nine competitive games, and have won five of their last six games vs Sunderland. These statistics, coupled by the irresistable urge to topple rivals Arsenal from the second spot, should inspire the visitors to an easy win at the Stadium of Light.
