Southampton vs Tottenham: Premier League prediction, TV channel, live stream, team news, time, h2h

Tottenham face a tricky trip to Southampton this afternoon as they bid for their first Premier League points of the season.

Jose Mourinho's side fell to a disappointing 1-0 home defeat to Everton on the opening day but have since progressed to the Europa League third qualifying round with victory over Lokomitv Plovdiv.

The London club have also been boosted by signings of Real Madrid pair Gareth Bale an Sergio Reguilon, both neither will be involved today.

Tottenham will come up against a Saints side who have started their campaign poorly with losses to Crystal Palace in the Premier League and Brentford in the Carabao Cup.

Prediction: Southampton 0-1 Tottenham

With neither side scoring in their opening day fixtures, I'm not expecting a goal-fest in Southampton, despite the array of attacking talent on display.

Tottenham looked unconvincing once more against Plovdiv, but boosted by the transfers of Bale and Reguilon - I'm predicting a narrow away win.

Harry Kane and Danny Ings will look to compete for the Premier League golden boot and they'll both be desperate to get off the mark on Sunday.

Head to head (h2h) history and results

It's Tottenham who have been the more successful of the two in this fixture historically, winning 83 of their 197 meetings, as opposed to Southampton's 64, alongside 50 draws.

The pair shared the spoils last season, with Tottenham winning 2-1 at home but losing 1-0 at St Mary's.

Spurs also knocked Southampton out of the FA Cup with a 3-2 fourth-round replay win.
