Collins confident of Spurs upset

Sunderland defender Danny Collins thinks the pressure will be on Tottenham Hotspur in Saturday's Premier League match at White Hart Lane.

Both teams lost their opening fixtures, but Collins told BBC Radio Newcastle that expectation at Spurs is higher.

"They've got a few new players in and they lost their first game, so the crowd will be on them if they don't perform," he said.

"Hopefully we can go go down there, get an early goal and upset them," he said.
