Tottenham Hotspur and Southampton will get their 2022-23 Premier League campaign underway at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday.
Spurs secured a fourth-place finish in the league last season, thanks to a late surge in form, winning four of their last five games, including their last three. Southampton, meanwhile had contrasting fortunes in the same period, losing four of their last five games to finish 15th.
Both teams had a relatively busy pre-season. Spurs played four games, losing against Jose Mourinho's AS Roma in their last friendly. The Saints, meanwhile, played five friendlies, winning just one.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Southampton Prediction
This fixture has produced some entertaining games recently, with the last game between the two teams ending in a five-goal thriller in February. Tottenham ended their 2021-22 season on a high and are likely to continue in the same vein here.
Southampton can be unpredictable but lack the firepower to trouble Spurs, especially away from home.
Prediction: Tottenham 2-1 Southampton.
