Mauricio Pochettino takes his Spurs side back to his old stomping ground as he looks to continue Spurs’ fine run of form in recent weeks. The Saints meanwhile are in the midst of a relegation scrap and with the departure of Virgil Van Djik earlier in the transfer window, look to have a huge void to fill in their squad.

TottenhamSouthampton
Mauricio Pellegrino has not had the start he would have hoped for at St Mary’s and the Saints are in real relegation trouble currently. They are winless in their last 10 Premier League games and sit in 17th position and with only 21 points registered and 4 wins to their name; they are only one point outside the relegation zone. James Ward-Prowse has scored 3 goals in his last 2 games and looks to be flourishing in his advanced wide-right role in the starting XI.
Tottenham
Tottenham sit in 5th place in the Premier League, 3 points outside of the Champions League places with 15 games still to play. Mauricio Pochettino’s men have 44 points from their opening 23 games and are unbeaten in their last 6 games in all competitions. Harry Kane has scored a staggering 28 goals in all competitions this term and the England man simply cannot stop scoring.

Harry Kane continued his fine form on Boxing Day bagging a hat-trick as Spurs picked up a thumping 5-2 win at Wembley with Dele Alli and Son Heung-min also getting on the scoresheet.
