To kick off 2026, Thomas Frank visited his former club Brentford, but his Tottenham side failed to break the deadlock, drawing 0-0 and leaving Spurs far from European qualification. The match even ended with boos directed at Frank from the Lilywhites' stands. On Sunday, Tottenham hosts Sunderland at the London Stadium.
In the betting odds, Tottenham are -120 favorites to beat the Black Cats, but their recent record at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is far from encouraging, having lost 11 Premier League home matches in 2025.
To make matters worse, there's no other way to describe Sunderland as the absolute revelation of the Premier League. Sunderland suffered a heavy defeat against Manchester City at the Etihad on December 6th, but they took revenge against Guardiola's team to start January, securing a stunning goalless draw that could potentially cost the Citizens the title in the long run.
The Blacks have been an incredibly difficult team for the Big Six to beat. They defeated Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, drew against Arsenal, also against Liverpool, and now against Manchester City. Even so, the team has been rather lackluster away from the Stadium of Light, where they have only managed 9 out of a possible 27 points.

Our Tottenham vs Sunderland Prediction
Sunderland's Dutch goalkeeper Robin's performances could very well earn him the title of best goalkeeper in the league. Manchester City tested him four times, and he responded with four saves. Since December 14th alone, he has made 14 saves, conceding only one goal.
On the Tottenham side, it was officially announced that Brennan Johnson will leave the team and join Crystal Palace. This departure comes at a particularly difficult time, as Thomas Frank is currently dealing with up to seven players unavailable due to injuries or international duty, in addition to Xavi Simons's still-serving red card suspension.
Our prediction for Tottenham vs Sunderland is: Under 2.5 goals.
