Tottenham Hotspur are out to return to winning ways when they play host to Sunderland at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on matchday 20 of the Premier League. Here's our match prediction.
This marks the first meeting between these two sides in the Premier League since 31 January 2017. That meeting ended in a goalless draw. However, Tottenham Hotspur should be confident of registering all three points in this fixture, having won four of their last five matches in this fixture. In fact, they are unbeaten in their previous 14 Premier League games, with their last defeat dating back to 2010. Will Spurs be able to maintain this unbeaten run?
Sunderland are not far away from the European football spots, with just one point separating them from the desired spot. With 29 points accumulated from 19 games, they have maintained a three-point cushion over 12th-placed Tottenham Hotspur. A win here could see them jump to fifth place in the standings, depending on results elsewhere going their way.

Tottenham - Sunderland: Form Analysis
Tottenham Hotspur failed to start the new year with a win in their match against Brentford at Gtech Stadium. In the London derby, both sides were content with a point in a goalless draw.
That result denied the Spurs, who were searching for their second league win on the bounce for the first time since August. On the bright side, they've avoided defeat in two games after suffering back-to-back defeats against Nottingham Forest and Liverpool.
The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium has turned out to be the reason for their downfall this season. Thomas Frank's side have more wins on the road than they have at home. At this venue, two wins have been recorded in their last nine matches.
Spurs are undefeated in their last 14 Premier League games against Sunderland.
Their opponents, Sunderland, are out to capitalise on that erratic display and keep their European football hopes alive. So far, they've avoided defeat in four games and recorded one win during this period.
With the support of their fervent supporters at the Stadium of Light, the Black Cats held a wasteful Manchester City side to a goalless draw in their recent league outing. This extended their unbeaten run at home to ten games (W5, D5).
In unfamiliar territory, their performance has been far from convincing. They are winless in four games, recording two draws and two losses.

Tottenham & Sunderland Squad Analysis
Tottenham Hotspur will have as many as eight players missing for this crucial encounter. Destiny Udogie, James Maddison, Dominic Solanke, Lucas Bergvall, and Dejan Kulusevski are out injured.
Both Yves Bissouma and Pape Matar Sarr are out on international duty - the ongoing 2025 Africa Cup of Nations. Xavi Simons, on the other hand, is still serving his suspension after receiving a red card against Liverpool on 12 December.
Richarlison continues to be the man to trust in the final third for the home team. He has been involved in two goal involvements in two of his last three league games. Notably, he has scored in two of his last three home league games.
Richarlison has scored in his last two home league games for Spurs.
Sunderland might not have the best attack in the Premier League this season, but their defense has been impeccable. They have allowed 18 goals in 19 games, which is the third-best defensive record in the league.
Nordi Mukiele and Omar Alderete have been at the heart of this performance. Mukiele won 75% of his ground duels and made 3/3 tackles last time out against Manchester City. Another spirited performance should definitely be on the cards.
The visitors have two players currently in the injury room. However, six more players are unavailable for this impending encounter, having traveled to Morocco for the ongoing 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.

Our Tottenham vs Sunderland Prediction
Tottenham Hotspur have dominated this fixture over the past few years. The bookmakers are expecting them to come out on top in this impending encounter. However, it won't be an easy feat to achieve against a side that recently kept giants Manchester City at arm's length.
Sunderland might be underdogs, but they have been a difficult opponent to overcome. Unbeaten in their last four matches, the under 2.5 bet landed in each of those outings. Considering they boast the third-best defensive record, expect a low-scoring affair. Our Tottenham Hotspur vs Sunderland prediction: less than 2.5 goals.
