Spurs can move level on points with Sunderland in the Premier League table with victory in north London

Tottenham’s difficult run will get no easier as they face Sunderland this weekend.

Spurs have already faced Liverpool, Crystal Palace and Brentford over the festive period, taking four points from a possible nine and keeping two clean sheets in the process.

Sunderland, meanwhile, held Manchester City to a goalless draw in their first game of the new year and are well placed to push for a top half Premier League finish this season.

Date, kick-off time and venue

Tottenham vs Sunderland is scheduled for a 3pm GMT kick-off on Sunday, January 4, 2026.

The match will take place at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Tottenham vs Sunderland team news

Dejan Kulusevski, James Maddison, Destiny Udogie remain sidelined for Spurs. Dominic Solanke has returned to training, but this game is likely to come too soon for a return to action.

Xavi Simons serves the final game of his suspension and Lucas Bergvall is a doubt after missing the goalless draw against Brentord. Pape Matar Sarr and Yves Bissouma are both away at the Africa Cup of Nations.

Richarlison, Micky van de Ven, Kevin Danso, Pedro Porro and Rodrigo Bentancur all avoided yellow cards against the Bees, so are now free from the threat of an immediate ban.

For Sunderland, Regis Le Bris is missing six players due to AFCON.

However, star centre-back and talisman Dan Ballard could return after missing the draw with Man City on New Year’s Day.
