The Black Cats travel to the new Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for the first time, as they look to build on an impressive draw against Manchester City at home, last time out.
Sunderland could move as high as 5th with a victory, depending on how Chelsea get on against Manchester City in the later kick off.
Spurs manager, Thomas Frank, is under a lot of pressure at the moment after some really poor results and performances, despite taking over a team that finished in 17th in the Premier League last season.
Spurs would leapfrog Sunderland with a win, and move from 13th, to as high as 7th.
Despite having one of the best away records in the league, Tottenham currently have one of the worst home records with just 2 wins, 2 draws and 5 losses this season.
Sunderland are the other way round at the minute, they are unbeaten at home, but have struggled slightly away from home, but they would be fancying their chances against a team that are struggling in their own back yard.
It has been over 12 years since Spurs last lost a match to Sunderland, a 1-3 win for the Black Cats at White Hart Lane.
It been 8 games since Sunderland last won, a run with 6 losses and 2 draws, but the Black Cats probably have their best chance to end that run.
