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.
