Southampton Predicted XI: Tottenham Hotspur (A)

Southampton travel to face Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday afternoon and will hope to build on the momentum of a record-breaking South Coast Derby victory.

Saints beat Portsmouth 4-0 at Fratton Park on Tuesday, which was their biggest ever away win in the fixture.

That result also made it four straight away wins without conceding a goal in all competitions as they prepare for the hardest trip of the lot this weekend.

This is Southampton’s first-ever visit to the new Tottenham Hotspur Stadium at senior level, and they will be looking to make it another trip to remember.  

Spurs are out of sorts at the moment after being dumped out of the Carabao Cup by League Two side Colchester United on Tuesday following a 2-1 defeat to Leicester City in their last Premier League game.

Ralph Hasenhuttl appears to have settled on a back four in recent weeks, but it will be interesting to see if he sticks with that against a Spurs side that will cause problems for the Saints defence.

Moussa Djenepo is expected to remain absent through injury, but the manager has a near fully-fit squad aside from that.

Here’s how we predict the side to line up.
