Spurs v Southampton – how to watch, team news, key information
Tue 08 February 2022, 23:59|
Tottenham Hotspur
Our first Premier League match since 23 January takes place at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Wednesday evening as we welcome Southampton to north London (kick-off 7.45pm UK).
Both sides come into the game off the back of home victories in the FA Cup fourth round – we beat Brighton 3-1 while the Saints needed extra time to see off Coventry City 2-1.
Southampton arrive in 12th place on 25 points while we’re seventh on 36, although we could climb into the European qualification spots by winning some of our games in hand on the teams above us.
