In what will be the Spurs Under 21’s first ever game in the Under 21 Premier League Cup, Wayne Burnett’s side will be looking to continue their perfect start to the season, going into their meeting with Sunderland Under 21’s, on Tuesday evening (the game starts at 19:00pm). The game on Tuesday takes place at Stevenage’s Lamex Stadium, and Spurs will face Sunderland at this level for the first time since the 2017/18 season, when the two teams meet. Spurs have won all three of their Premier League 2 fixtures so far this season, with their most recent win being against Derby County (away) on Friday evening. Sunderland’s Under 21 side have won one, lost one and draw one, from their three opening Premier League 2 games of this season. I haven’t seen Sunderland’s Under 21 side in a number of years, so I don’t know what their style of play is. However, this is the first of two Premier League Cup group games in this competition between Spurs and Sunderland, and the first of six group games for Spurs in this competition (the top two sides progress into the next round of the competition). I wish the Spurs team all the very best for the game on Tuesday.

My predicted lineup: (4-3-3) Gunter, McKnight, Dorrington, Sayers, Robson, Cassanova, Craig (c), Kyerematen, Ajayi, Lankshear, Santiago.

Substitutes from: Maguire, Andiyapan, Ashcroft, Donley, Soonsup-Bell.

Injured/unavailable: N/A.

Doubtful: N/A.

Previous meeting: 0-0.

My score prediction: Spurs 4-0.

My one to watch: Harry Gardiner (19). The Sunderland forward scored six Premier League 2 goals from 12 appearances last season for the Sunderland Under 21 side.
