    Like every Saturday, we have teamed up with the Danny Baker Show on BBC Radio 5 live to ask for your football stories.

    Today we want to hear about the problems and wonders of football kit colours at park level.

    Wayne Harrison: Teams with black/blue stripes on front and black on back of shirt, black shorts/socks..keep passing to me as a referee

    Sean Bond: Parachute sleeves.

    Ahh... the kits that fit no one, spare fabric just bellowing in the wind.

    More of the same in the Daily Star, who say Louis van Gaal 'stuck the boot into Liverpool by insisting Manchester United will never spend 26 years in the title wilderness'.

    Where is this mysterious 'title wilderness'?

    The Daily Mirror stokes up the Liverpool-Manchester United rivalry by highlighting Louis van Gaal's comments that he "cannot imagine" United going 26 years without a title again, as they did from 1967-1993.

    The Merseysiders look set to equal that mark this season having last won the title in 1990.

    Here's a look at some of the back pages this morning. We usually try to bring you a good mix of a variety of newspapers, but all the broadsheets have gone big on the cricket, so here are the tabloids.

    The Daily Mail leads on Jurgen Klopp "snubbing" Manchester United.

    Tottenham v Sunderland (12:45 GMT)

    Sunderland added to their firepower this week by signing former Hull striker Dame N'Doye on loan until the end of the season from Trabzonspor.

    However, the Senegalese international is still waiting for a work visa and will have to sit out today's game at White Hart Lane.

    They'll also be without full-back DeAndre Yedlin who is on loan from Spurs and therefore ineligible to face his parent club.

  10. Can Spurs stay in touch?published at 09:23

    Tottenham v Sunderland (12:45 GMT)

    With only one point from their past two league games, fourth-placed Spurs could do with a win against Sunderland to stay in touch with Arsenal and Leicester.  

    Harry Kane went very close against Leicester - hitting the bar - will he have a bit more luck today and add to his 14 goals in all competitions?

    Each week we team up with the Danny Baker Show on BBC Radio 5 live to ask for your football stories.

    In honour of Norwich City's outrageous away strip, worn in their defeat at Stoke on Wednesday, today we want to hear about the problems and wonders of football kit colours at park level.

    My primary school's footy kit was at least 20 years old and exceedingly itchy... not ideal.

    He seems to have been around forever but age does not seem to wither Jermain Defoe, now 33.

    Surely he should be older? 

    Anyway, we know he loves scoring goals at the Lane - bagging 143 for Spurs during two spells with the north Londoners.

    Two consecutive league wins and five goals scored by former Tottenham favourite Jermain Defoe... can Sunderland win at White Hart Lane to make it three on the trot and drag themselves out of the relegation zone?

    Defoe is surely the man who can do it for them...
