Spurs lineup vs. Sunderland confirmed! Who makes De Zerbi's first XI?

Roberto De Zerbi has named his first Tottenham Hotspur lineup to take on Sunderland in Sunday's Premier League clash at the Stadium of Light.

The Italian has made a total of five changes to Igor Tudor's final XI in the 3-0 loss to Nottingham Forest before the international break, and his attacking selection is particularly intriguing.

Indeed, De Zerbi has gone with three recognised centre-forwards in Richarlison, Randal Kolo Muani and Dominic Solanke, the former two of whom will likely feature out wide.

Kolo Muani comes into the XI at the expense of Mathys Tel, who drops to the bench after an injury scare on international duty, while Xavi Simons also has to make do with a place among the substitutes.

Spurs will rise above West Ham United and climb out of the Premier League relegation zone with all three points against Sunderland, who in turn could overtake both Fulham and Bournemouth to break into the top half with a victory.

More to follow.

Tottenham lineup: Kinsky; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie; Gray, Bergvall, Gallagher; Kolo Muani, Solanke, Richarlison

Subs: Austin, Dragusin, Danso, Palhinha, Simons, Bissouma, Tel, Spence, Sarr

Sunderland lineup: Roefs; Mukiele, Alderete, O'Nien, Reinildo; Sadiki, Xhaka, Diarra; Le Fee, Brobbey, Rigg

Subs: Ellborg, Hume, Geertruida, Cirkin, J. Jones, H. Jones, Talbi, Mayenda, Isidor
