Team Form: Southampton

Southampton’s recent form hasn’t been impressive lately as they have only managed one win in their last six matches across all competitions. They suffered heavy defeats against Chelsea and Liverpool but showed resilience by securing draws against Brighton and Aston Villa.

Currently sitting outside the top positions in the league table due to inconsistent performances throughout the season so far, it is crucial for them to find stability if they want to climb up the rankings again.

Team Form: Tottenham

On the other hand, Tottenham has also faced ups and downs recently but still holds a respectable position within the Premier League standings – currently sitting in 11th place with 20 points. In their last six matches, they have won two games, lost two, and drawn twice.

Their away form has been a bit inconsistent as well, winning two out of the seven matches played on the road this season. However, Tottenham’s attack has been potent lately with an average of almost two goals per game scored in their previous six outings across all competitions.

In their most recent match against Rangers in the UEFA Europa League group stage, they managed to secure a draw with a late equalizer from Dejan Kulusevski.

Key Players

For Southampton, Adam Armstrong has been one of their standout players this season. The attacker has shown great goal-scoring ability and will be crucial for his team’s chances against Tottenham. On the other hand, Heung-Min Son continues to shine for Tottenham with consistent performances and contributions both as a scorer and playmaker.
