Last-placed squad Sunderland AFC (0-2-2, 2 points) will try to move up the standings of the 2015-2016 Premier League season against fellow winless club Tottenham Hotspur FC (0-1-3, 3 points) at the Stadium of Light on Sunday, September 13.
The Black Cats actually had a promising performance during their last game against Aston Villa, when they forced the Villans to a 2-2 deadlock right at the Villa Park.
Midfielders Yann M'Vila and Jeremain Lens provided the goals for Sunderland to save a point for Dick Advocaat in the back-and-forth affair, as per BBC Sport.
M'Vila scored right in the opening minutes of the game but was equalized immediately by Villa's Scott Sinclair at the 11th with a penalty kick. Sinclair scored again before the first expired to put down Sunderland 1-2 at the break.
But the Black Cats are keen on adding a point in the overall standings as Lens equalized it again in the 52nd-minute.
Meanwhile, the Spurs settled for a goalless draw versus Everton on August 29 at their home field of White Hart Lane.
During the match, Spurs' striker Harry Kane almost scored his first goal of the season off a beautiful feed from midfielder Ryan Mason but his shot went straight into the legs of Toffee goalkeeper Tim Howard, as reported by SkySports.
Mauricio Pochettino's team has not yet found their rhythm offensively after four games and they will try to go for their first win against lowly Sunderland.
The predicted result is a 2-0 win for Tottenham. Kane will finally earn his first goal of the season as the Spurs snatch their first victory as well.
Sunderland starting lineup (4-3-3 formation): Pantilimon; van Aanholt, Jones, O'Shea, Kaboul; Rodwell, Cattermole, M'Vila; Graham, Defoe, Lens
Tottenham starting lineup (4-2-3-1 formation): Lloris; Alderweireld, Walker, Rose, Vertonghen; Chadli, Mason; Dier, Bentaleb, Dembélé; Kane
