Two teams with contrasting objectives clash at St. Mary’s on Saturday when rock-bottom Southampton host Champions League chasers Tottenham.
Saints find themselves in last place with 11 games to go, but they are just three points from safety in a hugely competitive relegation battle.
Antonio Conte has come under pressure after Spurs’ disappointing last-16 exit to AC Milan in the Champions League, but they remain four points clear in fourth – albeit having played two more games than Newcastle below them.
Spurs earned a thumping 4-1 win back in August in this fixture, when James Ward-Prowse put Southampton in front only for Ryan Sessegnon, Eric Dier a Mohammed Salisu own goal and a Dejan Kulusevski strike to turn it around.
Kick-off is at 3.00pm GMT. Make sure you know how to watch the Premier League wherever you are.
Team news
Kyle Walker-Peters is back from injury and starts for Saints. Ainsley Maitland-Niles had also been struggling, but is fit enough to take his place on the bench.
Juan Larios and Valentino Livramento miss out altogether as manager Ruben Selles makes three changes.
Spurs’ injury list still includes Hugo Lloris, Rodrigo Betancur, Ryan Sessegnon and Yves Bissouma, while Emerson Royal is struggling with a knock.
The Brazilian is not involved at all as manager Antonio Conte names an unchanged line-up from the team which beat Nottingham Forest 3-1 last weekend.
Southampton XI: Bazunu; Walker-Peters, Bednarek, Bella-Kotchap, Perraud; Ward-Prowse, Lavia; Walcott, Armstrong, Elyounoussi; Adams.

VPN guide
Use a VPN to watch Premier League football from outside your country
If you’re out of the country for a Premier League fixture, then you won't be able to watch on your domestic streaming service as usual. The broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!) and blocks you from watching it. You can use a VPN to get around that, though, without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.
A Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs, creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and will let you watch. And all the info going between is entirely encrypted, anonymous and safe – and that's a result.
There are plenty of good-value options out there. For the Premier League, FourFourTwo currently recommends:
International Premier League TV rights
