Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Dele Alli's surprising record vs. Southampton

Sports Mole looks at Dele Alli's impressive previous record against Southampton ahead of the midfielder's potential return from injury for Tottenham Hotspur.

Tottenham Hotspur return to domestic action on Saturday for the first time since securing their place in the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

Mauricio Pochettino will hoping that his side's memorable 4-0 aggregate triumph over Borussia Dortmund sparks a turnaround in Premier League form too, having failed to win any of their last three top-flight outings ahead of Saturday's trip to Southampton.

Spurs could be boosted by the return of Dele Alli after 10 matches out through injury, with the England international nearing his return from a hamstring problem.

Here, Sports Mole looks at how the midfielder has fared in his previous meetings with Southampton.

Alli has directly contributed to more goals against Southampton than he has done against any other club in his career, with five goals and four assists in just six previous meetings.

Indeed, against only Chelsea has he scored more goals, although he has drawn a blank in his last two meetings with the Saints having netted in each of his first four.

All nine of his goal involvements came in those first four meetings, including a brace at St Mary's in December 2016.

Alli has also never ended up on the losing side in this fixture, winning five and drawing one - although that stalemate did come in the corresponding meeting last season as the two sides played out a 1-1 draw.

The 22-year-old was limited to just an 11-minute cameo in December's reverse fixture, at which point Spurs were already 3-0 ahead and en route to a comfortable victory.
