PREM: Tottenham v Southampton preview

Tottenham v Southampton preview

Ralph Hasenhuttl is expected to be in the stands to watch Southampton when they face Tottenham at Wembley.

Hasenhuttl has agreed terms on a two-and-half-year deal until the summer of 2021 to replace Mark Hughes, who was sacked after Saints' 2-2 draw with Manchester United on Saturday.

The result extended Saints' winless run in the Premier League to 10 matches. They are third from bottom in the table and are the only side in the division to win less than two matches this season.

Hasenhuttel agrees Saints deal

Former Saints goalkeeper Kelvin Davis will take charge of the team against Spurs.

"Maybe I can add that little bit extra and if we see a little bit that might be the difference that gets us the points we need," he said.

Spurs will be looking to bounce back from their 4-2 defeat to Arsenal on Sunday.

Mauricio Pochettino's side had won six games in a row before losing to their north London rivals.

Southampton striker Michael Obafemi will be handed a late fitness test.

The 18-year-old made his full Premier League debut against Manchester United but was withdrawn in the second half with a muscle complaint.

Mario Lemina is suspended and Danny Ings and Ryan Bertrand are doubts.

Tottenham welcome back Kieran Trippier from injury.

The right-back has missed the last three games with a groin injury but should make a comeback against Saints.

Jan Vertonghen is suspended for his red card at Arsenal while Mousa Dembele (ankle), Erik Lamela (thigh), Victor Wanyama (knee) and Davinson Sanchez (hamstring) are all injured.
