Tottenham host Southampton in a big game for Ange Postecoglou, as pressure builds on the Spurs head coach.

Defeat at Chelsea on Thursday means it's now 16 Premier League defeats for the north London outfit this season, as they continue to languish down in 14th and closer to the relegation zone than the top four.

Postecoglou maintains he did not attempt to goad Spurs fans at Stamford Bridge, but results are always the best medicine and the visit of Southampton is crucial to build some momentum ahead of a crunch Europa League quarter-final with Bundesliga side Eintracht Frankfurt.

The Saints will arrive at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in not so great form despite Wednesday night’s 1-1 draw at home to Crystal Palace. Ivan Juric’s side are without a win in seven and relegation back to the Championship is a matter of when, not if.

Though, Spurs are heavy favourites to claim all three points, supporters in the UK will not be able to watch the game.
