A review of their past head-to-head clashes stretching back to 25/01/2020 shows that Tottenham Hotspur have won 3 of these games & Southampton 1, with the tally of drawn games standing at 2. Those games weren’t short on goals, either, with 24 overall at an average of 4 goals per match. Prediction It’s likely that Southampton will do really well to break down a Tottenham Hotspur side who have all the attributes to control this match, should everything go as we’re expecting. My selection here is for a comprehensive 3-0 winning scoreline for Tottenham Hotspur at full-time.
Big money summer arrival Richarlison is suspended for the opening game of the season, while Oliver Skipp will be assessed owing to a foot injury that saw him miss Tottenham's last pre-season friendly of the summer. In better news, though, Ben Davies has recovered from injury and is expected to start. Ryan Sessegnon may get the nod ahead of Ivan Perisic on the left against Southampton, with Antonio Conte hinting the latter is not yet fully fit. Yves Bissouma sustained a knock in training and is set to miss Saturday's game. After Armando Broja's loan spell ended, Che Adams is expected to lead the charge for Southampton this season, with Joe Aribo potentially starting behind the frontman. Valentino Livramento is ruled out for the rest of the year, so former Spurs man Kyle Walker-Peters is set to start at right-back. Nathan Tella and Theo Walcott join Livramento on the sidelines.
There is a growing sense of excitement at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium as Spurs approach their first full season with Antonio Conte at the helm. A strong end to 2021/22 saw them earn Champions League football and they'll be keen to kick off the campaign with victory. Saints did secure victory at Tottenham last season, though endured a dire end to the campaign, winning only one of their last 12 league matches and losing their final four games. Prior to their 3-2 win at Spurs, Saints had lost their last six trips to the north London side. Spurs will be eager to exact revenge upon Saints for defeat last season and have the quality in strength to kick off the campaign with all three points. 2:0
