Team news, stats and prediction ahead of Southampton vs Tottenham in the Premier League on New Year's Day (kick-off 3pm).
Team news
Southampton will check on striker Michael Obafemi ahead of the Premier League clash with Tottenham.
The 19-year-old, who scored in the Boxing Day win at Chelsea, missed Saturday's 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace due to illness.
Defender Yan Valery (infection) and striker Shane Long (knee) are doubts after also being sidelined against the Eagles.
Tottenham welcome back midfielders Harry Winks and Moussa Sissoko from their one-game bans.
Heung-Min Son serves the final game of his three-match ban and will play no part. Ben Davies (ankle), Danny Rose (muscle) and Hugo Lloris (elbow) remain out.
Preview
Southampton have always had issues at home, although they did get a draw at the weekend against Crystal Palace. Tottenham are still unstable.
Jose Mourinho will look at the defence, whether it is Danny Rose in particular or the club that is the issue, as Jan Vertonghen is at left-back and is struggling.
Toby Alderweireld signs a contract and is struggling, while Serge Aurier makes too many mistakes. This must give hope for Danny Ings and Nathan Redmond - whether they can get enough service to them through midfield I am unsure.
Harry Kane, Dele Alli and Lucas Moura have a lot on the counter-attack, but Southampton's confidence must be high and they may play more in line, which means there will be more goals in this one. Mourinho still needs time to fix this one.
Prediction: 2-2
