Premier League: Tottenham vs Sunderland Odds and Betting Preview

LONDON, UK - Tottenham Hotspur welcome Sunderland to White Hart Lane on Sunday, and will hope to get straight back on track after losing their first Premier League game in eleven at Stoke last weekend. Before that, Spurs had won 31 points from 33, and many had begun to class them as genuine title challengers. A win today will move Spurs back above Chelsea into third place, after the Blues drew to Wigan yesterday.

Martin O'Neill has only been in charge of Sunderland for one game, but he has made an instant impact with a win over Blackburn last week. Before that, Sunderland has gone five games without a win, and the Black Cats currently sit in sixteenth place, only one point above the relegation zone.

Harry Redknapp's side are comfortable favourites for the match, best priced at 2/5 with Paddy Power. Sunderland are 8/1 to come away with a win, and the draw is at 7/2 with Bet365.

In the correct score market, a 2-0 win for Spurs is the favourite result, priced at 13/2 William Hill, while a 1-0 win is 7/1 with the same firm. A 2-1 win for the London side is at 15/2 with Skybet, and a 1-1 draw is a 17/2 chance with Sportingbet. A 3-0 win for Spurs is at 17/2 with Bet365 and a 3-1 win can be backed at 10/1 with William Hill. A goalless draw seems unlikely considering Spurs goal scoring record, coupled with their leaky defence, but Skybet offer 16/1 about the result. Sunderland's best hope is a 1-0 win, which is a top priced 22/1 with Paddy Power.

On the half time / full time market, Spurs / Spurs is the favourite spot, priced at evens with Blue Square. Draw / Spurs is a general 10/3 shot, and draw / draw is at 7/1 with Victor Chandler. Sunderland are 18/1 with Boylesports to be winning at half time and full time, and the same firm also offer 20/1 about draw / Sunderland. Both sides are 22/1 with Victor Chandler to be winning after forty-five minutes but drawing at full time.

On-loan striker Emmanuel Adebayor has been in great form recently, with five goals in his last four league games. The Togolese is favourite to open the scoring today, priced at 4/1 with Victor Chandler. Jermain Defoe is next, at a standout 9/2 with Bet365, who offer the same price about Rafael van der Vaart. Roman Pavlyuchenko is an 11/2 chance with Blue Square, and Gareth Bale is 7/1 with Bet365. Nicklas Bendtner is Sunderland's best hope of grabbing the opener, and is a 10/1 shot with Paddy Power.

Following their great recent run, Spurs are now 22/1 with Stan James to win the title, and are 4/7 with Skybet to finish in the top four this season. Sunderland are prominent in the opposite markets, however, and are general 11/2 shots to be relegated. However, O'Neill could make an instant impact, and the Black Cats are 2/1 with Skybet to finish in the top ten.

The match kicks off at 1500 GMT
