Tottenham take on Southampton at White Hart Lane in English Premier League. The hosts have 2 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses with a goal difference of 8 7 so far. They have this season is very unpredictable team. Nevertheless, their coach Mauricio Pochettino decided to make ten changes to his side for the Europa League game played on Thursday and Tottenham Hotspur failed to win that game against Besiktas. However, it is clear that Pochettino perhaps had one eye on the first game against his former club having left Southampton in the summer and getting back to winning ways in the Premier League was clearly the number one concern for the manager. A 1-1 draw in the North London derby at the Emirates Stadium was a positive result for Tottenham Hotspur last weekend, but that also dropped them to 8th in the Premier League table with 8 points earned so far. Spurs have not been performing as well as they would have liked at White Hart Lane where they are 1 win, 0 draw, and 2 losses this season, scoring 4 goals and conceding four goals.

On the other hand, guests are currently at a high level. Otherwise, their coach Ronald Koeman looked to have been tasked with the difficult job at Southampton when he took over a squad that had been decimated by sale of key players from last season. The Saints made a slightly slow start to the season, but they have bounced back recently with a number of wins put together to push Southampton to some heady heights in the Premier League. At the start of the weekend, Southampton are 2nd in the Premier League with 13 points earned which leaves them just three points behind Chelsea at the top of the pile. The side have a 2 wins, 0 draw and 1 loss record away from St Mary's in the Premier League where they have scored 5 goals and conceded three so far this season. Southampton have won six in a row in all competitions heading into this game which has seen them move into 2nd in the League and also through to the Fourth Round of the Capital One Cup.
