Tottenham have just won 10 of their 24 Premier League games played in 2019 so far, this is their worst record in a calendar year since 2014 (12/38). Only Bournemouth (11), Watford (12) and Brighton (13) have lost more PL games than Spurs this year. Saints are aiming to win three consecutive away top-flight games for the first time since their run of four in February 2015. However, Southampton have lost eight of their last 10 league games they played in London (W1 D1). Pochettino's last eight Premier League victories have come in home games.

Tottenham star striker Harry Kane has scored eight times from 12 shots on target against Southampton in the Premier League. He has scored in each of his last five appearances against Saints (seven goals). Spurs’ Dele Alli has been involved in nine goals in six Premier League starts against Southampton (5 goals, 4 assists). Since the start of last season, Harry Kane has ended on the losing side in five Premier League matches in which he’s scored – more than any other player.
