Comments and predictions for Southampton vs Tottenham: Defeat the home team

Winless 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 defeated by Aston Villa in their most recent Premier League encounter.

Latest Southampton vs Tottenham team information

Tottenham and Southampton will be without a number of key players from both teams. Tottenham will be without Rodrigo Bentancur and Yves Bissouma due to 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 health issues. This could force manager Ange Postecoglou to make changes to his squad, possibly bringing on Lucas Bergvall for James Maddison and Dominic Solanke for 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 several key players missing, both Tottenham and Southampton will have to adjust their line-ups and tactics to cope with the big challenges in this match.

Southampton vs Tottenham latest expected lineup

Southampton:

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

Tottenham Hotspur:

Latest Southampton vs Tottenham football commentary

It has been a rather gloomy Christmas at 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 difficult draw against 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 to the bottom half of the table and are just one defeat away from making it 15 defeats in a calendar year for the second consecutive year. 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 also conceded the second most goals behind Wolverhampton Wanderers. However, they have a good 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 a lot of pressure, and this match could decide the future of their managers.
