Tottenham Hotspur vs Southampton Preview

After yet another defeat on Thursday night, surely Tottenham Hotspur will get to winning ways here, right? In mid-week, Spurs suffered their 16th Premier League loss of the season already, beaten 1-0 by fierce rivals Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, the 1-0 scoreline rather flattering the beaten visitors.

The traveling Tottenham supporters chanted "you don't know what you're doing" towards under-fire manager Ange Postecoglou and, given that their side are 14th, without a win in four league games, you can understand their frustrations. Spurs can still salvage this disastrous season via the Europa League, taking on Eintracht Frankfurt in the first leg of their quarter-final clash on Thursday. Nevertheless, the way the Lilywhites are currently playing, the Bundesliga side have to be favourites. Before then, Tottenham simply must win this game, given how ignominious not winning would be.

That because visitors Southampton, in the words of their own manager, are seeking to avoid becoming the worst team in Premier League history. On Wednesday, the Saints moved a point closer to their target, holding Crystal Palace to a 1-1 draw at St Mary's. Paul Onuachu's opener seemingly had them set for just a third win of the season, only for Palace to equalise in stoppage time.

The Saints did manage to end their five-match losing streak, taking their points tally to ten, now one shy of Derby's all-time record of 11, set in 2007/08. So, can Ivan Jurić's team pull off the ultimate upset in North London, or will Tottenham simply have too much quality for the basement boys?

Tottenham Hotspur vs Southampton Head-to-Head Record

Tottenham Hotspur Team News

Radu Drăgușin, Kevin Danso, Richarlison, Timo Werner and Dejan Kuluševski are all sidelined but, considering how jam-packed Tottenham's treatment room has been for the vast majority of this season, that isn't too bad. Ange Postecoglou put out, what he believes to be, his strongest XI at Stamford Bridge however, given how insipid Spurs' performance was, it would surprise no one if he made wholesale changes.

Fit again centre-back duo Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero could be wrapped in cotton wool with Frankfurt in mind, while Pedro Porro, Archie Gray, Pape Matar Sarr, Yves Bissouma and Brennan Johnson will all be hoping to return to the lineup.

Tottenham Hotspur predicted lineup vs Southampton: (4-2-3-1): Vicario; Porro, Romero, Gray, Spence; Matar Sarr, Bergvall, Odobert, Maddison, Son Heung-min, Solanke.

Tottenham Hotspur Player to Watch vs Southampton

Dominic Solanke has scored 11 times for Spurs to date, although he's never netted in seven previous meetings with Southampton; surely he'll fancy his chances of changing that fact on Sunday.

Flynn Downes starts a two-match ban, having collected his tenth caution of the campaign on Wednesday. Elsewhere, Lesley Ugochukwu, Will Smallbone, Albert Grønbæk and Ross Stewart are sidelined, while Ryan Manning is a doubt, suffering a hand injury against Palace.

So, Welington is likely to come in at left-wing-back, with Kamaldeen Sulemana and Paul Onuachu leading the attack, alongside Tyler Dibling, who is set to return to the XI.

Southampton predicted lineup vs Tottenham Hotspur: (5-2-2-1): Ramsdale; Walker-Peters, Stephens, Harwood-Bellis, Bednarek, Welington; Aribo, Fernandes, Dibling, Sulemana; Onuachu.

Southampton Player to Watch vs Tottenham Hotspur

Aaron Ramsdale has conceded 51 goals in 22 Premier League appearances for the Saints, while he's kept two clean sheets in eight previous encounters with Spurs, highly-unlikely to add to this tally.

Despite Tottenham's miserable form, we are backing them to collect three points on Sunday, because surely Spurs will swat hapless Southampton aside: Tottenham Hotspur 3-1 Southampton.
