Southampton f.c. vs tottenham lineups

Tottenham will continue their hunt to secure a place in next season's Champions League when they travel to the Premier League's bottom side Southampton on Saturday. The Saints sit in 20th following a draw with Manchester United and a home loss to Brentford. They can escape the relegation zone with a win if other results go their way. Spurs, meanwhile, currently sit fourth but face competition from Liverpool, while Newcastle also have two games in hand. United Kingdom. BBC Radio 5 Live no television stream. United States. Kyle Walker-Peters will not face his former club unless he makes a swift recovery from a hamstring injury. Manager Ruben Selles could start with James Bree and Theo Walcott out wide to try to get an all-important victory to boost morale. Four players have been out for some time for Spurs and they remain so here. Pedro Porro will likely keep his place in the team, while Richarlison could do the same after being given a chance by Antonio Conte following their recent war of words. Neither set of fans have been particularly enjoying their season so far and neither have been looking forward to their games. Southampton are in desperate need of points right now and have to approach every home game with the intention of winning. Spurs have not been particularly prolific in games like this lately and Selles has got his team looking a lot more defensively sound than they were under Nathan Jones.

A late James Ward-Prowse penalty earned Southampton a deserved point in a thrilling encounter as they came from behind against Tottenham at St Mary's. A fragmented first half never really got going as both sides were forced into two substitutions apiece with Richarlison and Ben Davies coming off injured for Spurs and Saints' Armel Bella-Kotchap and Jan Bednarek also replaced. Pedro Porro broke the deadlock, hammering a shot into the roof of the net just before half time. Che Adams levelled 47 seconds into the second half, but Saints were staring at defeat with 15 minutes to go thanks to Harry Kane's header before a fine Ivan Perisic effort. But Theo Walcott inspired Southampton's comeback with a slotted finish from Sekou Mara's header and Ward-Prowse completed it from the spot to secure a vital point. A point does nothing to improve Southampton's position in the table as they remain rooted to the bottom, but it does highlight the improvements made under manager Ruben Selles. They have managed two wins so far under the Spanish coach - against Chelsea and Leicester - but this spirited second-half performance showed promising signs as they face a tough battle to stay in the Premier League. Saints had to substitute both their central defenders inside 33 minutes with Mohammed Salisu replacing Bella-Kotchap and Ainsley Maitland-Niles returning to the fold after two weeks on the sidelines after Bednarek was taken to hospital with a suspected rib injury. But the home side were rejuvenated in the second half with Adams' early goal putting Spurs on the back foot, and they were unlucky to concede the second goal to a quality Kane header. Even trailing by two goals it was Southampton who had the chances as Walcott gave the St Mary's crowd hope, before Mara went close to an equaliser but was denied by Spurs keeper Fraser Forster.

The busy Christmas period is well and truly here. After an action-packed Boxing Day that yielded 29 goals in just six matches, Premier League clubs will be in action once again in the coming midweek in what will be the final matchday before the year comes to a close. Tottenham Hotspur have been one of the most in-form teams divisions right now, largely thanks to the appointment of Antonio Conte. The Italian tactician is unbeaten in his first six Premier League matches, securing a total of 14 points during the period. This excellent run of results has catapulted Tottenham into fifth place in the Premier League table. While there is a sizable six-point gap between them and fourth-placed Arsenal, the Lilywhites have a whopping three games in hand. They could potentially bridge the gap to third-placed Chelsea to just three points if they can secure wins in each of those three games while extending their lead over the likes of Manchester United and West Ham in the process. The Saints are now nine points clear of the drop zone, although the likes of Watford and Burnley do have games in hand.
