Sunderland defender Billy Jones believes that Tottenham Hotspur will be feeling the pressure when they host the Black Cats at White Hart Lane on Saturday.

The North-East outfit have lost their last two Premier League games against Manchester City and Liverpool, while Spurs also head into the clash on the back of a disappointing result.

Mauricio Pochettino's side relinquished a lead to suffer a 2-1 defeat to Crystal Palace in their last league outing.

"We've suffered back-to-back defeats in the Barclays Premier League against Manchester City and Liverpool, so we want to go to White Hart Lane and pick up a positive result," Jones told the club's official website.

"We will go there to try and get three points and I would imagine that the pressure will be on them going into the game, because they're the team at home and they also suffered a defeat to Crystal Palace last weekend."

Sunderland are just one point above the relegation zone.
