Team News
Tottenham
Southampton
- Big money summer arrival Richarlison is suspended for the opening game of the season, while Oliver Skipp will be assessed owing to a foot injury that saw him miss Tottenham's last pre-season friendly of the summer.
- In better news, though, Ben Davies has recovered from injury, but it's been reported than Clement Lenglet has trained with a view to starting.
- Ryan Sessegnon may get the nod ahead of Ivan Perisic on the left against Southampton, with Antonio Conte hinting the latter is not yet fully fit.
- Yves Bissouma sustained a knock in training and is set to miss Saturday's game.
- After Armando Broja's loan spell ended, Che Adams is expected to lead the charge for Southampton this season, with Joe Aribo potentially starting behind the frontman.
- Valentino Livramento is ruled out for the rest of the year, so former Spurs man Kyle Walker-Peters is set to start at right-back.
- Nathan Tella and Theo Walcott join Livramento on the sidelines.
Solid win for Tottenham and three points they didn't get last season.
Kulu is insane
@richccfc he's picked up where he left off last season. It's great! :)
1-1 Walcott MotM
Tottenham lost this fixture last season but have shown a lot more cohesion and resilience since then. Tottenham and Southampton haven't shared a 0-0 since 2001 so perhaps one is overdue or it could be one of those first day goal fests. Walker-Peters and Ward-Prowse to score for Southampton and Harry Kane to score at least one for Tottenham. Tottenham 3-2 Southampton
Under 3.5 goals @1.53
As a spurs fan I'm always afraid of our defending at set pieces. Beware of JWP
Spurs 3-1.
