Saturday
Sunderland v Tottenham (15:00)
Sunderland midfielder Teemu Tainio will miss out on a reunion with former club Tottenham as he battles against a knee injury.
The Finn sat out Tuesday night's 2-0 Premier League defeat at Liverpool with the problem, which he suffered at Arsenal on February 21.
Manager Ricky Sbragia otherwise has no fresh fitness concerns as Nyron Nosworthy continues his recovery from a hamstring tear.
The Black Cats have played Kenwyne Jones up front on his own for the last two matches, but those were against Arsenal and Liverpool away from home. Djibril Cisse could return to the starting XI against Spurs with Grant Leadbitter dropping to the bench.
After a comprehensive 4-0 victory against Middlesbrough in midweek it is unlikely that Harry Redknapp will want to make too many changes to his Spurs outfit.
Heurelho Gomes is expected to continue in goal and if there is one change it could come at right-back with Vedran Corluka coming in for Didier Zakora.
