As Tottenham prepare to face bottom-of-the-table Southampton, the stakes couldn’t be higher for both sides. With recent struggles defining their campaigns, the question remains – can Spurs find their footing, or will the Saints add to their woes? Let’s take a look at how to watch Southampton vs Tottenham on Sunday evening.
Winless in five consecutive matches across all competitions, Tottenham Hotspur travel to St. Mary’s Stadium on Sunday evening, desperate for a victory.
A Europa League outing against Rangers on Thursday saw the Lilywhites salvage just a 1-1 draw, highlighting their lack of cutting edge.
In the Premier League, Tottenham’s fortunes haven’t fared much better, as they languish in the bottom half of the table with a meagre six wins to their name this season.
Their away form, a glaring weakness, has compounded their troubles. Ange Postecoglou’s men have managed just two victories from seven matches on the road, suffering four defeats and drawing once.
A stark contrast to their aspirations, the team’s inability to grind out results away from home has left them grasping at straws.
On the other side of the pitch, Southampton’s woes are just as glaring. Rooted to the bottom of the table, Russell Martin’s Saints have endured a torrid campaign, losing 12 of their 15 matches so far.
With only one point from their last five league games, they have conceded 12 goals while netting a paltry four. Even a victory here would not lift Southampton off the foot of the table, but it could serve as a morale booster as they search for form and fight.
The game will be hosted at St. Mary’s Stadium on Sunday, December 15, 2024. The fixture is scheduled for a 7:00 pm UK time kick-off.
Southampton vs Tottenham will be available to watch on TNT Sports 1, TNT Sports Ultimate, discovery+, the discovery+ app, and TalkSport Radio UK.
Tottenham travel to the south coast without several key players. Wilson Odobert, Guglielmo Vicario, Mikey Moore, Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven, Ben Davies, and Richarlison are all sidelined due to injuries.
Yves Bissouma is also set to miss this one as he is suspended while Rodrigo Bentancur will continue to serve his seven-game ban.
Southampton face their own selection issues, with Jack Stephens unavailable due to suspension and goalkeeper Gavin Bazunu ruled out until mid-January with an Achilles tendon injury.
Both teams enter this fixture in contrasting form, though neither has much to celebrate. Southampton’s defensive frailties are evident, and with Tottenham eager to reverse their fortunes, this clash could be tightly contested.
As a fan, I back the Lilywhites to secure a 3-1 victory in what promises to be a tense encounter.
