Spurs wary of Sunderland threat


LONDON (Reuters) - Tottenham fans might be rubbing their hands at the prospect of a visit to bottom-of-the-table Sunderland on Saturday, but striker Jermain Defoe says the entire squad is aware of the threats posed by the team led by former Spurs man Gus Poyet.

Far from it being a trip to scoop up three easy points, Defoe said on Friday he has been warning Spurs team mates what to expect at the Stadium of Light as the Londoners look to build on Wednesday's 2-1 win at Fulham.
