Sunderland vs Tottenham Hotspur Highlights

Sunderland midfielder Teemu Tainio will miss out on a reunion with former club Tottenham as he battles against a knee injury.

The Finn sat out Tuesday night's 2-0 Barclays Premier League defeat at Liverpool with the problem, which he suffered at Arsenal on February 21.

Manager Ricky Sbragia otherwise has no fresh fitness concerns as Nyron Nosworthy continues his recovery from a hamstring tear.

Sbragia has warned the Premier League's big spenders that Sunderland does not exist to breed good players for them.

The Black Cats had to fight off Tottenham's concerted efforts to lure striker Kenwyne Jones from the Stadium of Light during the January transfer window, eventually turning down an offer which amounted to nearly £15million.

Sbragia was critical of Spurs' methods as they tried to prise Jones, who the Wearsiders signed from Southampton for £6million during the summer of 2007, from their grasp.

COVENTRY City take on Chelsea in the FA Cup quarter-final at the Ricoh Arena tomorrow looking for their first cup appearance at Wembley since they won the competition in 1987.

Guss Hiddink's Premier League title contenders stand in the way of Chris Coleman's men and a place in the last four of the world famous knock-out competition which carries with it a tie at the country's world-reknowned flagship stadium.

Barring Wednesday night's 2-1 defeat at home to Sheffield United, the Sky Blues have strung together an impressive run of results of late, culminating in going through the entire month of February undefeated and earning Coleman the Championship Manager of the Month award.

Results last month included Championship wins over automatic promotion chasers and Midlands rivals Wolverhampton Wanderers and Birmingham City as well as a memorable 1-0 win over Blackburn Rovers at the Ricoh Arena in an FA Cup fifth round replay.

Chelsea are also on an impressive run, going undefeated since the arrival of part-time manager Hiddink who replaced dismissed former boss Felipe Scolari last month.

The Blues currently sit in second place in the Premier League, seven points behind leaders Manchester United who have a game in hand.

Chelsea will be wary come tomorrow afternoon, however, after being knocked out of the FA Cup at the quarter-final stage by Championship outfit Barnsley this time last year.

The Sky Blues possess a favourable record at home against Chelsea in recent years, having won ten and drawn three of 19 meetings with the Blues in the last 30 years although tomorrow represents the first time the two sides have ever met in the FA Cup.

Infact, tomorrow will be the first time the two sides have met since the Sky Blues were relegated from the Premier League in 2001, City going down 2-0 in the third round of the League Cup at Highfield Road on October9, 2001 courtesy of strikes from Eidur Gudjohnsen and Mikael Forsell.

Now-Chelsea captain John Terry also featured in that game as a 20-year-old trying to break into the first team.
