The two teams will stand at odds with each other for first time since Mauricio Pochettino left Spurs.
They’re likely to recall a number of players for Today's Barclays Premier League clash.
Mauricio Pochettino has to put up with oodles of courage and a strong face line to serve Tottenham while facing his former escorts, the saints. Though having ardent feelings, he’s bound to reshape his priorties taking into consideration that Spurs fell short of goals when they stood against Arsenal, last weekend with 1-0 defeat.
What’s more conflicting in their getting hold of today’s match would be the lack of one focal striker, be it Emmanuel Adebayor, Roberto Soldado or Harry Kane, they direly need someone who could score without exceptions.
With just two wins from six league matches, Pochettino has multitudes to answer for Spurs’ discrepancies. He needs to make them reach to the point to gain a competitive edge over the top four. He had been with the Saints for 16 months in order to exalt them to a top-half finish in the Premier league before the unpredictable quirk of fate took place in the summers. With a stable set in motion at first, his team now has 4 non-winning matches while moving towards the international set up.
Walker(pelvis) won’t come forth this season.
With Chadli 4’, as their lead scorer, they still can’t anticipate much with their past performances in sight.
On the contrary, Ronald Koeman had been working implausibly hard to get past that 8th spot acquired in the Premiers League, and has now full confidence over Southampton’s victory, moreover believes that they are likely to end up in the top four.
Although Southampton have mere worn out fortunes while facing Spurs, with 2 victories and 4 disappointments from their earlier 15 Premier league visits to White Hart lane, they will be displaying their feats of talent without James Ward-Prowse for around three months due to his foot fracture.
Saints midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin would have excelled on all grounds, but he lies against the club’s decisions.
England forward Jay Rodriguez(knee) and James Ward-Prowse (foot) won’t be serving for long because of their severe injuries.
Defender Maya Yoshida and striker Sam Gallagher may arrive at strife.
Having Pelle 4’, as their foremost scorer they have what it takes but it could be ironic to predict what today holds.
