Tottenham Hotspur have handed a full debut to Moussa Sissoko in this afternoon's Premier League meeting with Sunderland.
The former Newcastle United midfielder is one of three changes from Spurs' midweek defeat to AS Monaco, with Victor Wanyama and Mousa Dembele also drafted in.
Sunderland pair Lee Cattermole and Steven Pienaar both make the starting XI after returning from injury, while Didier Ndong makes his first start for the Black Cats.
Billy Jones and Victor Anichebe are not yet fit enough to return for David Moyes's side, while Fabio Borini, Sebastian Larsson and Vito Mannone are also sidelined.
