Southampton are winless in five home Premier League matches against Spurs since re-entering the top-flight in 2012 (D1 L4) – this after winning five in a row between 2000 and 2005.

Indeed, since 2012-13, Spurs have won 28 of a possible 33 points in the Premier League against Southampton (P11 W9 D1 L1).

Saints are currently on the longest winless run in the Premier League, failing to secure all three points in any of their last 10 games (D5 L5).

Meanwhile, after a run of five winless away games in the Premier League, Spurs have won their last two, keeping a clean sheet each time.

Spurs have won their last three away Premier League games on a Sunday by an aggregate score of 13-2 – this is their first such match since their opening weekend win against Newcastle.

Mauricio Pochettino is yet to lose a Premier League game at St. Mary’s since he left Southampton at the end of the 2013-14 season, drawing one and winning two.

James Ward-Prowse has scored each of Southampton’s last three goals in all competitions (one vs Fulham, two vs Watford) – he’d previously gone 25 games without a goal for them.
