De Zerbi Debuts at Sunderland With Spurs in Drop Zone

The Italian inherits a 13-game winless slide with seven matches to claw Spurs to safety.

Overview

  • Tottenham visit the Stadium of Light on Sunday at 2pm BST, with Sky Sports Main Event showing the match live.
  • West Ham’s 4-0 win on Friday moved Spurs into the bottom three, sharpening the pressure on Roberto De Zerbi’s first game.
  • First‑choice goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario is sidelined after surgery and Antonín Kinsky is expected to start, while Mohammed Kudus has suffered a setback that could rule him out for the season.
  • Sunderland, broadly safe after a strong return to the top flight, have lost three straight home games and will try to steady their form.
  • Tottenham have dominated the recent head-to-head, going unbeaten in their last 15 Premier League meetings with Sunderland since 2010.
