Mauricio Pochettino welcomes his former club Southampton to town amid his toughest period as Tottenham manager.
After letting leads slip in back-to-back games, against Olympiakos and Leicester City, Spurs were then humbling by lowly Colchester United in the Carabao Cup in Pochettino's worst result of his tenure.
Another loss on Saturday would put Pochettino under serious pressure ahead of the visit of Bayern Munich in the Champions League.
For Southampton, they are riding a high after thrashing arch rivals Portsmouth in their own patch in their first meeting for over seven years.
