Team news, manager quotes and match stats ahead of the Premier League clash between Tottenham Hotspur and Sunderland at White Hart Lane.
MANAGER QUOTES
Harry Redknapp (Tottenham): "No more Christmas parties. We are too busy playing football, we have too many games and they have to concentrate on playing and getting on with their football. If they can't behave themselves, if they can't miss having a drink with the money they are earning there is something wrong with them.
"They are getting fortunes. They have great careers, great lives. They can get on with their football and then go away for six weeks in the summer. Don't cause problems at Christmas. We have a busy period over Christmas, we are training every day. We will train Christmas Day and Boxing Day. We play the day after Boxing Day."
Martin O'Neill (Sunderland) on speaking to loan striker Asamoah Gyan: "The chief executive gave me his number, I haven't had a chance to call it. Really, it was just a matter of me introducing myself to him as much as anything else and finding out how the land lies.
"I think perhaps the club he is involved with have got a pretty strong hold on him in many aspects but still it would be nice just to have a few words. That I intend to do some time next week."

TEAM NEWS

Scott Parker, Luka Modric, Emmanuel Adebayor, Gareth Bale and Kyle Walker are all set to return after sitting out the Europa League victory over Shamrock Rovers.
Spurs are sweating over the fitness of centre-back Ledley King, who has missed the last two games with a knee injury. Tom Huddlestone (ankle) and Michael Dawson(Achilles) are long-term absentees while Niko Kranjcar, Sandro and Steven Pienaar are all in contention after playing against Shamrock.
Sunderland boss Martin O'Neill could have three more players at his disposal.
Skipper Lee Cattermole is available after suspension, while striker Nicklas Bendtner and midfielder Craig Gardner have returned to training after groin and hamstring problems respectively.
Keeper Craig Gordon played in a training ground game earlier in the week, as did striker Fraizer Campbell (knee), although the latter is still some way from joining in with the main group, while keeper Simon Mignolet (fractured nose and eye socket) and central defender Michael Turner (knee) remain on the sidelines.
