Tottenham Hotspur v Sunderland
15:00 White Hart Lane Premier League
Sunderland manager Steve Bruce faces a major selection headache ahead of Saturday's Barclays Premier League trip to Tottenham Hotspur.
Striker Kenwyne Jones is suspended after being sent off during last weekend's 2-2 draw with West Ham United, while skipper Lorik Cana, who picked up his fifth booking of the season in the same match, also misses out.
Forward Fraizer Campbell is expected to shake off a thigh problem, but Cana's absence is a real blow with Lee Cattermole (medial ligaments) also sidelined.
John Mensah (calf) and Bolo Zenden (hip) are again likely to be missing, and youngsters David Meyler and Adam Reed are included in the squad.
Tottenham Hotspur: Gomes, Cudicini, Corluka, Hutton, Naughton, King, Dawson, Woodgate, Assou-Ekotto, Bale, Lennon, Bentley, Huddlestone, Jenas, Palacios, Kranjcar, Pavlyuchenko, Keane, Crouch, Defoe.
Sunderland: Gordon, Fulop, Bardsley, Da Silva, Nosworthy, Ferdinand, Turner, Richardson, McCartney, Reid, Malbranque, Henderson, Campbell, Bent, Healy, Murphy, Meyler, Reed.
