Comments, predictions Southampton vs Tottenham: Defeat the home team

Without a win in five games in all competitions, Tottenham Hotspur will be desperate for a morale boost when they travel to bottom-of-the-table Southampton on Sunday evening.

Tottenham could only manage a 1-1 draw against Rangers in their last Europa League outing, while Southampton were narrowly beaten by Aston Villa in their most recent Premier League encounter.

Latest Southampton vs Tottenham squad information

Tottenham and Southampton will be without a number of key players from both teams. Tottenham will be without Rodrigo Bentancur and Yves Bissouma through suspension, while Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven, Wilson Odobert, Mikey Moore, Richarlison, Ben Davies, and Guglielmo Vicario are also out due to injury or fitness issues. This could force manager Ange Postecoglou to make changes to his squad, possibly bringing on Lucas Bergvall in place of James Maddison and Dominic Solanke in place of Timo Werner.

Southampton are also without key players including Jack Stephens, Aaron Ramsdale, Will Smallbone, Juan Larios, Ross Stewart and Gavin Bazunu. However, manager Martin has confirmed that Adam Lallana, Paul Onuachu and Jan Bednarek are all fit and available. Onuachu could replace Cameron Archer up front, while James Bree could make way for Bednarek in defence.

With many key players absent, both Tottenham and Southampton will have to adjust their lineups and tactics to deal with the big challenges in this match.

Latest predicted lineup Southampton vs Tottenham

Southampton:

Lumley; Walker-Peters, Harwood-Bellis, Wood, Bednarek, Manning; Downes, Fernandes; Dibling; Armstrong, Onuachu

Tottenham Hotspur:

Forster; Spence, Gray, Dragusin, Udogie; Kulusevski, Sarr, Bergvall; Johnson, Solanke, Son

Latest Southampton vs Tottenham football review

It has been a rather gloomy Christmas at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium as Ange Postecoglou's side have endured a disappointing run without a win. Since their impressive win over Manchester City, Tottenham have picked up just three points from a possible 15 in the Premier League and Europa League, most recently a hard-fought draw with Rangers. They have also suffered a disappointing 4-3 defeat to Chelsea after leading 2-0 at half-time.

With just one win in their last five Premier League games, Tottenham have dropped into the bottom half of the table and are just one defeat away from making it 15 defeats in a calendar year for the second year in a row. They have also struggled away from home, winning just 25% of their last 16 Premier League away games.

Southampton, on the other hand, are in crisis. Russell Martin's side remain bottom of the table after losing 1-0 to Aston Villa, extending their poor run of form. Southampton have the weakest attack in the league, scoring just 11 goals in 15 games, and have conceded the second-most goals after Wolverhampton Wanderers. However, they have a good head-to-head record against Tottenham at home, having lost just one of their six Premier League games against Spurs.

With the current situation, both Tottenham and Southampton are under great pressure, and this match could decide the future of their managers.
