Match preview

Tottenham Hotspur host Sunderland in the Premier League on 4 January 2026. Tottenham Hotspur sit 17th on 41 points and Sunderland are 7th on 54. Tottenham Hotspur have won 2 of their last 5 (WLLWD), while Sunderland have won 1 of 5 (LWDDD). In their last 1 meetings, Tottenham Hotspur won 0, Sunderland won 1 and 0 ended level. These are probabilities from past results, not guarantees: football upsets happen every week.

How this is worked out

Each club has an Elo rating that moves after every result (bigger wins move it more, home sides get a small boost). We turn the rating gap into expected goals and use a Poisson model to get win, draw and loss chances. The prediction is locked at kick-off and never edited.

Probabilities, not promises. For analysis and entertainment only. 18+.
