Tottenham Hotspur v Southampton: match preview

Tottenham Hotspur v Southampton
Tottenham Hotspur v Southampton: probable starters in bold, contenders in light.

There is not, generally, a massive difference between coming in second rather than third but, for Tottenham, it would mean the world. The disappointment of their collapsed Premier League title push is still fresh but there remains the significant matter of finishing above Arsenal for the first time since 1994-95.

Southampton’s motivation continues to be Europa League qualification. David Hytner
