Prediction: Southampton 2-1 Tottenham

After previously looking a decent bet for relegation, the Saints have been on a tear of late, winning five of their last seven top-flight games to move within three points of fifth-placed Manchester United.

Tottenham, meanwhile, finally recorded their first league win of 2020 on Wednesday night, but a narrow 2-1 home defeat of rock-bottom Norwich was hardly convincing.

Danny Ings struck the winner when these sides last met on the south coast on New Year's Day - a game that also saw Harry Kane suffer a torn hamstring.

Spurs have struggled for goals in the absence of their talisman and another difficult afternoon at St Mary's likely lies in store.
