Premier League: Southampton vs Tottenham live
Preview
Spurs continue their Premier League journey with a trip to St. Mary’s stadium today to face Southampton after being eliminated from the UCL by Milan. Simon Hooper is the match referee for this league game and kick-off is scheduled at 15:00 GMT. The season has been an interesting one for both clubs, and a victory is essential for both.
Tottenham will play their 28th league game today as they continue to compete for a top-four position. With 48 points, they are now in fourth place in the Premier League, two points behind the third-place Man United. From the 27 games they have played, Spurs have won 15, lost 9, and drawn 3. They are currently in a tight place as they lead Newcastle by just a point and a win tonight is vital to widen the gap. Conte is probably going to start with the same line-up he did last weekend when he faced Forest.
Southampton currently sit in last place on the Premier League standings as they are having a bad season. With 22 points, they have won six, lost thirteen and drawn four of the 27 games played. They must win nearly all their games if they hope to avoid relegation, and today’s match against Tottenham will be challenging. In their last five games, they have recorded two victories, one draw, and two defeats.
Head-to-head
Tottenham have won three of their last five games with Southampton while recording one loss and one draw.
Prediction
Tottenham have dominated most of their games and recently defeated the home team. Southampton are expected to be tough today, hence, they’re likely to keep the visitors at bay and force a draw. It is therefore anticipated that the Spurs will either win or draw today.
