Contending squad Tottenham Hotspur FC (2-0-2, 8 points) will look to extend their unbeaten record as they square off with bottom three team Sunderland AFC (0-3-1, 1 point) in a 2016-2017 Premier League season match on Sep. 18, Sunday at the White Hart Lane.
Start Time and Streaming Info
The game starts at 11:30 a.m. ET. It can be viewed live online thru FuboTV.
Tottenham remains to be one of only three undefeated teams, which included current league leaders Manchester City and Everton, in the English top flight after four weeks of action. The team had alternated drawing and winning matches in their first four fixtures of the new term.
The Spurs demolished current cellar-dwellers Stoke City, 4-0, in their most recent game held on the road at the Bet365 Stadium last Saturday, as per ESPN.
South Korean winger Son Heung-min netted a brace at the 41st and 56th minutes to open the contest, while teammates Dele Alli and Harry Kane contributed one goal apiece at the 59th and 70th to complete the four-goal haul of head coach Mauricio Pochettino's side.
Son is rumored to be recently struggling with his playing time under Pochettino this term, but the game erased all the doubts about the future of the 6-foot-1 Gangwon, South Korea native in Tottenham.
Meanwhile, Sunderland had lost three of its first four games in the English domestic first division, while drawing the other one, to stay winless so far this term. The Black Cats are one of only three teams who have yet to earn a win this season and so they are part of the bottom three relegation area at the moment.
Sunderland is coming off a 0-3 crushing in the hands of Everton on Monday at their own home field of Stadium of Light, SkySports reported.
The Toffees' Belgian striker Romelu Lukaku unleashed a hat trick on head coach David Moyes' boys at the 60th, 68th, and 71st minutes and Sunderland was not able to recover from such a one-man onslaught.
Tottenham is highly-favored to win over Sunderland in this fixture.
