Manager Steve Bruce made a winning start to his stint as Black Cats boss thanks to a Darren Bent goal that allowed Sunderland to clinch all three points via a 1-0 win over Bolton Wanderers at the Reebok on Saturday.

Bruce will feel vindicated in his pursuit of Bent, which took all summer and resolved only when the striker apparently posted a rant against Spurs chief Daniel Levy on his Twitter page. The great start by the Black Cats will have raised expectations among fans, who are sure to throng to the Stadium of Light for this game as well. Martin Fulop will continue in goal as Craig Gordon is yet to recover from his knee injury, while this match is too soon for new signing Paraguay defender Paulo Da Silva, who is yet to regain match fitness.

Meanwhile Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti was spared the blushes in his first home game after a freak goal by Didier Drogba handed the Blues a 2-1 win over Hull City in their opener over the weekend. Stephen Hunt had opened the score for Hull, but a sublime free-kick from Drogba equalized for Chelsea before his freak goal in the closing stages when his apparent cross found its way into the net.

Ancelotti would be relieved with the win, but will recognize that there are many puzzles in the defense as well as the midfield. For this game, Yuri Zhirkov is out with a knee injury, while Joe Cole and Paulo Ferreira are yet to regain match fitness following their recoveries from knee injuries.
