Latest Tottenham vs Southampton team information
The only positive news after the defeat to Chelsea was that Tottenham had no new injury problems. Micky van de Ven suffered cramp late in the game and is now fit to play this weekend.
Striker Richarlison, who returned to training this week after a calf injury, is likely to return. However, Radu Dragusin (cruciate ligament), Dejan Kulusevski (foot) and Kevin Danso (hamstring) are still out.
Postecoglou has confirmed he will rotate his squad for the Frankfurt clash, opening up starting opportunities for the likes of Pape Sarr, Brennan Johnson and Mathys Tel. Son Heung-min is likely to be rested.
For Southampton, Flynn Downes is suspended after picking up 10 yellow cards. Juan Larios, Ross Stewart and Will Smallbone are also out injured, although Smallbone could return to training over the weekend.
Against Palace, Juric had to withdraw Lesley Ugochukwu, Paul Onuachu and Ryan Manning due to injury. Ugochukwu and Manning are fit, but Onuachu remains a major doubt.
In that situation, Cameron Archer is likely to start up front. Joe Aribo and Yukinari Sugawara could also be given a chance to start in the match in London.

Latest Tottenham vs Southampton football commentary
Unless Tottenham pull off a surprise and win the Europa League this season, the only trophy Spurs fans will get is the image of manager Ange Postecoglou raising his hand to his ear during Thursday's tense match with Chelsea – a clash that left him extremely frustrated from start to finish.
Enzo Fernandez's strike gave Chelsea the win, and a rare moment of excitement for Spurs fans – Pape Sarr's equaliser – was also ruled out by VAR, sparking another familiar post-match tech tirade from Postecoglou.
The former Celtic boss was also forced to deny that the gesture was provocative – the move to replace Lucas Bergvall with Sarr had been met with a furious reaction from the crowd – but even if unintentional, it was clearly inappropriate, especially after the goal was ruled out.
Having picked up just one point from their last four Premier League games, Tottenham are down to 14th place – a disappointing result for fans. Spurs' form at home has been equally poor, with just one win in their last 10 games.
Postecoglou’s “prophecy” of a second season title has not yet been completely dispelled, however, as Tottenham prepare to face Eintracht Frankfurt in the Europa League quarter-finals. And the match against Southampton is seen as the best opportunity for them to regain momentum before the crucial first leg.
Southampton's miserable season continued as they were held to a draw by Crystal Palace despite taking the lead through Paul Onuachu, but Matheus Franca's equaliser in the second minute of injury time ended all hopes.
If Southampton lose at Tottenham, and Wolverhampton beat Ipswich Town on Saturday, Ivan Juric's men will be relegated with seven games remaining - an unprecedented negative record in Premier League history.
No team has been relegated since Round 31 – the previous record was held by Derby County in 2007-08 and Huddersfield Town in 2018-19 (Round 32). With just 10 points after 30 rounds, Southampton are on track to have their worst season in the Premier League era.
To make matters worse, Southampton were thrashed 5-0 at home by Tottenham in December, and have conceded in each of their last 15 Premier League away games against Spurs – a statistic that suggests this could be the final straw that sends them out of the competition.
