Sunderland's Billy Jones: 'Pressure is on Tottenham Hotspur'

Sunderland defender Billy Jones believes that Tottenham Hotspur will be feeling the pressure when they host the Black Cats at White Hart Lane on Saturday.

The North-East outfit have lost their last two Premier League games against Manchester City and Liverpool, while Spurs also head into the clash on the back of a disappointing result.

Mauricio Pochettino's side relinquished a lead to suffer a 2-1 defeat to Crystal Palace in their last league outing.

"We've suffered back-to-back defeats in the Barclays Premier League against Manchester City and Liverpool, so we want to go to White Hart Lane and pick up a positive result," Jones told the club's official website.

"We will go there to try and get three points and I would imagine that the pressure will be on them going into the game, because they're the team at home and they also suffered a defeat to Crystal Palace last weekend."

Sunderland are just one point above the relegation zone.
