Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp is likely to name an unchanged side at Sunderland, knowing that a point will see his side go above Arsenal in the table.

Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp will be aiming to build on his side's last win with another three points at Sunderland on Saturday.

Spurs' 3-1 victory at home to Swansea City was their first win in six league games and moved them level on points with North London rivals Arsenal.

If they avoid defeat at the Stadium of Light, Redknapp's men will go into third place in the Premier League table, above the Gunners, who do not play until Sunday.

Tottenham are likely to name an unchanged side in the North East and then rotate their squad for the game with Norwich City on Monday, although Ledley King may start against Martin O'Neill's team.

Following their 3-3 draw at Manchester City, which saw the Black Cats surrender a 3-1 lead late on, Sunderland could recall on-loan defender Wayne Bridge, who was ineligible to face his parent club last week.

Centre-back duo Wes Brown and John O'Shea are both unavailable despite being close to returns, while captain Lee Cattermole is likely to play through the painbarrier with a knee ligament strain.

Current form:

Sunderland:WDLWLD

Tottenham:WLDDWW

Possible lineups:

Sunderland: Mignolet, Bridge, Kilgallon, Turner, Bardsley, Larsson, Gardner, Cattermole, Colback, McClean, Bendtner

Tottenham: Friedel, Walker, Gallas, Kaboul, Assou-Ekotto, Modric, Parker, Sandro, Bale, Van der Vaart, Adebayor

Sports Mole says: 2-2
