Harry Redknapp has named an unchanged lineup from Tottenham Hotspur's 3-1 win over Swansea City for their game with Sunderland this afternoon.

William Gallas retains his place in the centre of defence despite Ledley King being fit to play, while Aaron Lennon is again only named on the bench after returning from injury.

Long-term absentees Michael Dawson and Tom Huddlestone are still sidelined for Spurs, who can go third with victory at the Stadium of Light.

Captain Lee Cattermole has come into the Sunderland starting lineup, while Jack Colback will continue in a full-back role.

Sunderland: Mignolet; Bardsley, Colback, Kilgallon, Turner; Larsson, McClean, Cattermole, Gardner; Sessegnon; Bendtner

Tottenham: Friedel; Walker, Gallas, Kaboul, Assou-Ekotto; Parker, Modric, Sandro; Van der Vaart, Bale, Adebayor
