PREM: Southampton v Tottenham preview


Southampton v Tottenham preview

Tottenham will be boosted by the return of Toby Alderweireld, Mousa Dembele and Vincent Janssen for Wednesday's trip to Southampton


Spurs, currently in fifth, are the last of the top-four contenders to play after Christmas, with Mauricio Pochettino returning to his former club as he looks to remain in touch of the Champions League places.

Southampton, unbeaten in their last four games in all competitions, haven't conceded a home goal in five hours and five minutes of Premier League football.

Southampton's 2-1 win over Spurs in May ended a run of seven Premier League games without beating them. Another victory would see Claude Puel's men move to within six points of their opponents.

Jordy Clasie has picked up a groin injury and will not feature against the north Londoners. 

"It's a pity that Clasie has a groin pain and this is a difficulty for us," Saints boss Puel said.

Spurs boss Pochettino has almost a full squad to choose from, with Alderweireld (back), Janssen (ankle) and Dembele (knock) available for selection after sitting last weekend's victory over Burnley out.
