Southampton v Tottenham predictions

No team in the Premier League have scored fewer than Southampton’s tally of 20 this season and they could be involved in another low-scoring game when Tottenham head to St Mary’s.

The Saints were seen off 2-0 by Brentford on Wednesday and the basement boys may fear the worst against a team to whom they lost 4-1 on the opening day.

But it is noticeable that Tottenham have not been firing on all cylinders either.

A 3-1 win at home to Nottingham Forest last week went some way towards thawing the frosty relationship between the Spurs fans and manager Antonio Conte following limp exits from the FA Cup and Champions League, but his team are struggling to create chances.

They have failed to post an expected-goals figure of more than one in eight of their 16 league and Champions League away games this season, so while they should come out on top, it is unlikely to be an entertaining, goal-filled display.

Key stat

Southampton have scored more than once in just two of their 13 home league games this season

Probable teams

Southampton (4-2-3-1): Bazunu; Walker-Peters, Bednarek, Bella-Kotchup, Perraud; Ward-Prowse, Diallo; Elyounoussi, Alcaraz, Sulemana; Adams

Tottenham (3-4-3): Forster; Romero, Dier, Davies; Porro, Skipp, Hojbjerg, Perisic; Kulusevski, Kane, Son.
