Team News

Southampton
Tottenham
  • Fraser Forster returned to first team duties at West Ham and is expected to keep his spot between the sticks, with Alex McCarthy still absent.
  • Nathan Tella, Jack Stephens and Lyanco have all tested positive for COVID-19 so miss the welcome of Tottenham.
  • Stuart Armstrong may come in for Theo Walcott on the wing it what could be Ralph Hasenhuttl's only change from Sunday's game at the London Stadium.
  • Tottenham suffered no further injury issues from their 3-0 win over Crystal Palace, with Cristian Romero and Ryan Sessegnon the only players unavailable for Antonio Conte.
  • Conte has plenty of options across the pitch and may make a couple of changes here.
  • Tanguy Ndombele, Harry Winks and Ben Davies may come in for Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, Oliver Skipp and Japhet Tanganga in order to keep players fresh.

Prediction

  • Southampton played out an entertaining 3-2 win at West Ham on Sunday to end a six-game winless run. Victory in the capital was just their second on the road this season.
  • Tottenham eased to a 3-0 win over a COVID-hit Crystal Palace on Boxing Day and they now sit six points off the top four with three games in hand. Spurs won this game last season, romping to a 5-2 win at St. Mary's.
  • Saints have a solid home record this season, losing just the once on the south coast, but Spurs, despite a poor away record, will be confident of coming away with all three points here.

  • Couldn't beat a SA team playing with 10men with more than 55% of all the times. It's just pathetic.

  • Poor spurs can’t get past 10 men for most of the game.

  • Tottenham don't have a good away record whereas Southampton have only lost one at home. Tottenham have the momentum to carry them over the line here but they will need work for it. Southampton 1-2 Tottenham

  • @MEHJones and will have to take their chances.

  • I think it’s draw game

  • Thus match is an interesting test for Tottenham. 4th place may be decided by which team gets the most points away from home to teams like Wolves, Everton, Southampton, Leeds, Brentford, Palace, and Villa

  • 0-2
