Tottenham v Southampton – lineup, statistics, preview
Match previews of Tottenham v Southampton
Southampton’s short stint, returning to the Premier League, could end abruptly this Sunday if there is a shortage against Tottenham in North London.
Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou endured annoyed night in the mid-week London Derby defeat to Chelsea.
Enzo Fernandez’s goal was enough to pass the victory to Chelsea, but Papesar’s potential equalizer was ruled out by the bar.
Having only one point from the last four Premier League games and a lonely victory in the last 10 home league games, the Spurs placed 14th in the table.
Still, the upcoming Europa League ties with Eintracht Frankfurt offer a faint hope for silverware in the second season of Post-Coglu.

Ivan Juric’s Southampton took a rare victory mid-week, courtesy of Paul Onuachu’s goal, but was rejected to die by the header of the Crystal Palace of Matheus Franca. The result was a series of wins extended to seven games.
Sunday could potentially mark a new low in Premier League history. If Southampton loses Ipswich on Saturday and the Wolves defeat Ipswich, the Saints will be relegated for the remaining seven games.
No club has ever been officially demoted by GameWeek 31.
Worse, Southampton was defeated in the last humiliating 5-0 defeat in the face of Tottenham, not eschewing a clean sheet with the Spurs on 15 top flight visits.
Tottenham v Southampton team news
Postecoglou confirmed there were no new injuries from Thursday’s defeat to Chelsea.
Mickey Van de Ben’s late convulsions were not considered serious, and Richarson was able to return after resuming training after a calf injury.
However, the Spurs remain without Raddragoosin (ACL), Dejnkräsevsky (foot), and Kevin Danso (hamstring).
With the Europa League on the horizon, Postecoglou is expected to spin his team. It can open the door for Sarr, Brennan Johnson, and Mathys Tel for a few more minutes, but Heung-Min’s son may rest.
In Southampton’s case, the Flynn Downs will provide one game of suspension after collecting the 10th yellow card.
Juan Larios, Ross Stewart and Will Smallbone remain on the sidelines, but Smallbone is back.
Onuachu (ankle) is suspicious after being kicked out mid-week, but it is expected that Lesley Ugochukwu and Ryan Manning will be available.
