Match Preview: Tottenham (A)

Southampton face a struggling Tottenham Hotspur side in Premier League tomorrow, in what should be an interesting game.

After their midweek demolition of bitter rivals Portsmouth, Saints will come into the game full of confidence fresh off the derby win.

Spurs will look to bounce back after making a shock exit in the Carabao Cup at the hands of Colchester United, with last year’s Champions League runners-up bowing out on penalties.

Both will look to bounce back in terms of league form, with the teams both losing last time out.

For Ralph Hasenhuttl, Moussa Djenepo remains injured, whilst Alex McCarthy is a doubt after picking up a knock in midweek. Apart from that, there are no fresh injury concerns for the south coast team.

Spurs will be without Giovanni Lo Celso and Ryan Sessegnon through injury, but there are no other concerns for Mauricio Pochettino.

Read Southampton’s verdict

Both teams will be eager to win after losses last time out in the Premier League, but Spurs will have added pressure on them as fans will expect a win to halt their run of poor form.

Saints will be going into the game with no real expectations, and will have the opportunity to go to London, give Spurs a game, and maybe pick up a shock win.

Other results will encourage Hasenhuttl, and he will definitely want his team to take the game to Spurs.
