English Premier League
Southampton vs Tottenham Hotspur
The pressure will be immense on Jose Mourinho as he looks to guide Spurs to their first Premier League win of the season on Sunday. The Portuguese tactician cited a lack of fitness as one of the reasons for the club’s defeat to Everton and given the midweek fixture, the manager may indeed have a point heading into this game.
Fortunately for Mourinho and Tottenham, their weekend opponents Southampton haven’t shown the same level of discipline that has been quite synonymous under the leadership of Ralph Hasenhuttl.
The Saints notably started their campaign with a 1-0 defeat to Crystal Palace before being knocked out of the Carabao Cup in midweek at the hands of Championship outfit Brentford. As they brace themselves for a tough game against Tottenham, Hasenhuttl will be hoping to salvage at least a point.
