Tottenham Hotspur will be glad for a home game following their woeful run of away form lately, having failed to win any of their matches on the road so far this season.
Spurs' last three matches in a row have been away from home, each bringing with it a disappointing result. A 2-2 draw with Olympiacos in the Champions League despite going 2-0 up, a 2-1 reverse against Leicester City in which VAR featured heavily, and a penalty shootout defeat to League Two Colchester United in the EFL Cup last time out.
However, Tottenham have won two of their three home games in the league so far and will hope to reverse their poor form with a strong performance against Southampton, who fielded a strong side in the EFL Cup against rivals Portsmouth, running out 4-0 winners.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest injury and suspension news for Tottenham.
