The Lilywhites could only manage a 1-1 draw against Rangers last time out in the Europa League, while the Saints were narrowly beaten by Aston Villa in their most recent top-flight match.

Since embarrassing Manchester City at Etihad, Spurs have taken just three points from the last 15 available across the Premier League and Europa League combined, most recently leaving it late to snatch a point against Rangers through super sub Dejan Kulusevski.

The stalemate with Rangers came after Spurs capitulated against a team in a similar shade of blue, firing in two early goals against Chelsea before falling to a chastening 4-3 defeat, their second straight loss in the top flight after being overcome by AFC Bournemouth.

Meanwhile, Southampton will both start and end the weekend at the foot of the Premier League standings on the back of their 12th defeat from 15 matches in the 2024-25 top flight, suffering a 1-0 loss to a rejuvenated Aston Villa side in the West Midlands last weekend.

A first-half strike from clinical Colombian Jhon Duran was all that was needed to send the Saints back to St Mary’s empty-handed and hammer another nail into Russell Martin’s coffin, but the Southampton manager – who recently branded his team’s five-point total “embarrassing” – is still given a stay of execution by the powers-that-be.

As well as Rodrigo Bentancur, who serves the fifth of his five-game domestic suspension at St Mary’s, Spurs have lost Yves Bissouma to a totting-up of yellow cards following his inexcusable tackle on Moises Caicedo inside the penalty box last weekend.
