Tottenham Hotspur vs. Sunderland: Lineups

Tottenham Hotspur need to beat Sunderland in order to have any chance of beating Arsenal to the fourth and final Champions League spot. Fortunately, it's Sunderland and White Hart Lane, and the Black Cats have approximately nothing to play for after Wigan Athletic's midweek relegation. Seriously, their bench looks like it was selected via a random name generator.

So, expect an easy Spurs win, unless they find out Arsenal are losing, in which case they'll probably Spurs things up a bit.

Tottenham Hotspur starting lineup (4-2-3-1): Hugo Lloris; Benoit Assou-Ekotto, Jan Vertonghen, Michael Dawson, Kyle Walker; Scott Parker, Tom Huddlestone; Gareth Bale, Clint Dempsey, Aaron Lennon; Emmanuel Adebayor.

Substitutes from: Brad Friedel, Steven Caulker, Kyle Naughton, Moussa Dembele, Lewis Holtby, Gylfi Sigurdsson, Jermain Defoe.

Sunderland starting lineup (4-4-2): Simon Mignolet; Sebastian Larsson, Carlos Cuellar, John O'Shea, Jack Colback; James McClain, James Vaughan Alfred N'Diaye, Adam Johnson; Connor Wickham, Danny Graham.

Substitutes from: Kieran Westwood, Scott Harrison, Liam Marrs, Adam Mitchell, Billy Knott, Mikael Mandron, David Ferguson.
