Sunderland vs Tottenham Hotspur Competition – English Premier League Stadium: Stadium of Light Date: 12th April 2026 Kick-off time – 14:00 GMT
Sunday’s early kick-off at the Stadium of Light sees a Sunderland side with one eye on the European places take on a Tottenham outfit that is sliding towards a relegation scrap. The Black Cats sit 11th in the Premier League with 43 points from 31 games, while Spurs are in 17th with just 30 points — only one point ahead of the bottom three and running out of time to fix their season.
Sunderland’s most recent result was an impressive 2-1 away win at Newcastle United on March 22. Prior to that, they were beaten 1-0 at home by Brighton and lost 1-0 away at Port Vale in the FA Cup. Earlier in this run, they claimed a 1-0 away win at Leeds and drew 1-1 away at Bournemouth. It is a mixed sequence, but the victory on Tyneside will have given the squad real confidence heading into Sunday. A win here would lift the Black Cats to 46 points, level on points with Brentford and Everton in seventh and eighth respectively, though their goal difference of -4 would keep them below both sides on that measure.
Tottenham’s league form has been wretched. Their most recent outing ended in a 3-0 home defeat to Nottingham Forest. Prior to that, they drew 1-1 away at Liverpool in the league, and earlier in this sequence they were thrashed 5-2 away at Atlético Madrid and lost 3-1 at home to Crystal Palace — the Champions League home win over Atlético sandwiched in between does little to mask just how badly things have unravelled. Three points on Sunday would take Spurs to 33, above Leeds on goal difference and offering some much-needed breathing room. Anything less and the situation starts to look genuinely precarious.
Sunderland will be without Romaine Mundle, Bertrand Traoré and Nilson Angulo through injury, with Dan Ballard and Robin Roefs both doubtful. Tottenham’s absentee list is lengthy — Wilson Odobert, Rodrigo Bentancur, Ben Davies, Mohammed Kudus, Dejan Kulusevski, James Maddison and Guglielmo Vicario are all ruled out, with Pape Matar Sarr and Yves Bissouma listed as doubtful.

Tottenham carry significant injury concerns into this match, with seven players ruled out entirely and two more doubtful, stripping the squad of creativity, experience and defensive cover across multiple positions. Sunderland are also without several key options but are in considerably better shape than their opponents heading into Sunday’s fixture.
