The Southampton away record that could worry Spurs fans ahead of Premier League meeting

Tottenham host Southampton in the Premier League this afternoon, as Mauricio Pochettino's team look to bounce back from a disappointing week.

Spurs followed a 2-1 away defeat against Leicester with a penalty shootout loss against Colchester United that saw them crash out of the Carabao Cup.

However, the Lilywhites have found more comfort at home in recent times, recording a 4-0 Premier League win over Crystal Palace in their last game at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Pochettino and his players will be hoping for a similar result when they return this afternoon against the Saints, but Ralph Hasenhuttl's men may have different ideas.

Southampton will be coming into the game on a high after a 4-0 win over fierce rivals Portsmouth to see them ease their way into the fourth round of the Carabao Cup.

The Saints sit in 13th place in the Premier League table having won two, lost three and drawn one of their six league games this season, their last Premier League outing saw them lose 3-1 against Bournemouth.

However, Southampton's recent away record could be a cause of concern for Spurs.

Mauricio Pochettino insists Tottenham are 'united'

In their last four away games in all competitions the Saints have won all four, keeping a clean sheet in every one. Results include: 0-4 vs Portsmouth, 0-1 vs Sheffield United, 0-1 vs Fulham and 0-2 vs Brighton.

Tottenham will be hoping that they can break what is proving to be a stubborn away defence and break that record this afternoon.
