Southampton vs Tottenham LIVE
Premier League 2018-19
Venue: St Mary’s Stadium 2018-19
Kick-off: 3pm GMT, today
Tottenham will have to cope without Mauricio Pochettino on the touchline as Spurs face their coach's former club on the south coast.
Pochettino will be serving the first game of his two-match ban from the FA following a confrontation with referee Mike Dean at Burnley, with the Argentine also set to miss Spurs' clash against Liverpool.
But Dele Alli comes straight back into Tottenham's starting XI following his return from injury. The 22-year-old has not played since picking up a hamstring problem, this third since last summer’s World Cup, during the win at Fulham in January.
Spurs, without a win in their last three Premier League games, need to translate their European form to domestic games, and Southampton have not beaten Spurs at St. Mary’s in six attempts since their return to the top-flight.
Who will come out on top? Stay tuned to Standard Sport for all the action with analysis from Jack Rosser at St Mary’s Stadium…

Score prediction: Southampton 1-2 Tottenham
Spurs turned in a near-perfect Champions League away performance in Dortmund in midweek, though had Hugo Lloris to thank for more than some top saves.
Pochettino's side have enough quality to see off Southampton in their bid to hold onto a top-three finish, and the likes of Man Utd, Arsenal and Chelsea lurking close behind should focus minds for another away test.
