Tottenham head into Saturday’s early kick-off with Sunderland without England right-back Kyle Walker, with manager Mauricio Pochettino naming Kieran Trippier in defence in one of three changes from the side that lost 1-0 to Leicester on Wednesday.

Danny Rose also comes in to defence at the expense of Ben Davies, while Mousa Dembele returns to midfield in place of Tom Carroll. Both Davies and Carroll drop to the substitutes’ bench.

Sunderland meanwhile will hope to build on the 4-2 victory over Swansea on Wednesday that saw striker Jermain Defoe score a hat-trick.

The England international leads the line again alongside the recalled Danny Graham, who comes into the starting line-up for Fabio Borini.

The only other change to the Black Cats’ starting line-up sees Jordan Pickford return in goal in place of Vito Mannone, who drops to the bench alongside Borini.
