Match Preview: Tottenham Hotspur vs Southampton Venue: White Hart Lane Kickoff: 6.35pm IST After playing their hearts out in the North London Derby, Pochettinos men look to get 3 points against the in form Southampton side. Spurs stand 12th in the table as of today, a win that would take them near to the top of the table whereas Southampton stand 3rd with 4 wins in 6 games. Southampton seem a tough test with Morgan Schneiderlin in the midfield and the new signing Tadic and Pelle gelling in well in the Ronald Koemans squad. Will be tricky to see if Mauricio Pochettino makes changes in the frontline after Adebayors poor form in the league, with the rest of the squad expected to remain the same as the previous league game. Tottenham will be without their long term absentee Kyle Walker while the in form Danny Rose remains doubtful for the clash. Southampton defender Florin Gardos is doubtful while James Ward-Prowse (foot), Jay Rodriguez (knee), Maya Yoshida (ankle) are out of the game. All eyes on Pochettino as Tottenham look set to fight off the Saints. MATCH FACTS: Spurs are without a win in their last four league matches and have lost their last two top-flight games at home. The last time they lost three in a row at White Hart Lane was in September 2008 under Juande Ramos. Only one of Spurs eight league goals this season has been scored by a forward - Emmanuel Adebayor against QPR. Southampton have won four successive top-flight matches for the first time since January-March 2001. Head-to-head: Southampton have won just two of their 15 matches at White Hart Lane in the Premier League. Tottenham have won all four games against Southampton since the Saints returned to the top flight - Aditya #COYS
