Recent respective form guides
Tottenham Hotspur's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. While Spurs have scored 4, a worringly large 13 have been leaked at the other end.
Southampton's away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While the Saints have hit 5 goals, 11 have hit the back of the wrong net.
Tottenham are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 4 points from 5 matches. Southampton find themselves in a respectable 6th position, courtesy of the 9 points they have accumulated from 5 games.
