Antonio Conte’s Tottenham will host the ever improving Southampton for this exciting Premier League fixture.<\/p>\n
Conte is turning Spurs into a very hard club to beat. The Italian has won the Premier League before, so that shouldn’t be much of a surprise.<\/p>\n
He would now look to get them inside the top four by the end of this campaign, but he knows Soton are tricky opponents to face.<\/p>\n
The Saints have remained stable despite almost always losing their best players to other clubs in the Premier League.<\/p>\n
They are currently 12th on the league table, but you can almost confidently bet that they will finish the campaign higher.<\/p>\n
The Saints have lost just once in their last three Premier League games and it wasn’t to Manchester City whom they faced in that run.<\/p>\n
They stopped City’s long winning run in a 1-1 draw and that will give them confidence that they can earn a result from this fixture.<\/p>\n
Spurs lost back to back games against Chelsea, but they have generally been in fine form recently and produced a stunning comeback against Leicester City not so long ago.<\/p>\n
They haven’t lost to Southampton in their last five head to heads and that should give them confidence that they can also win this fixture.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
