😇 MATCHDAY in SO14
Southampton welcome Tottenham to St Mary's Stadium on Saturday, looking to bounce back from Wednesday night's defeat to Brentford in the Premier League. Three valuable points for Saints would do just that, lifting them outside of the relegation zone if other results go their way. Spurs can extend the lead on fifth place Newcastle, who won last night, to four points with victory.
