Tottenham will hope to continue a recent winning run this weekend as they take on Southampton, less than a month after beating the Saints 5-2 at Wembley.
Harry Kane broke the long-standing record for goals scored in a calendar year on Boxing Day as he netted a hat-trick in a thumping win, and Spurs have returned to that sort of form in the past two weeks.
Following a momentum-stalling draw with West Ham, Mauricio Pochettino's men have comfortably beaten Wimbledon 3-0 in the FA Cup and trounced Everton 4-0 in the Premier League.
The Saints, meanwhile, have not won a league game since November 26, when they defeated Everton 4-1. Their only win in 2018 came in the 1-0 FA Cup victory over Fulham.
TOTTENHAM INJURIES
Hugo Lloris is a doubt for the encounter due to illness, with Mauricio Pochettino unsure whether the France international will be fit to start in goal.
"I don't know [if Lloris will be fit]," Pochettino told reporters on Friday. "Difficult to say.
"We need to wait today and tomorrow and then assess him tomorrow and if he's available or not. I think it's a flu or a virus. It's between this."
Toby Alderweireld remains on the comeback trail but he is not yet fit to play and will miss the encounter this weekend.
Danny Rose is sidelined with a knee injury, while Harry Winks continues to struggle with a niggling ankle problem.
SPURS SUSPENSIONS
Spurs have no suspended players.
TOTTENHAM STARTING LINE-UP
Spurs were in fine fettle against Everton, turning on the style in the second half to blow away a woeful Toffees side, with Heung-Min Son in sparkling form on the left flank.
The South Korea international is likely to continue on the wing against Southampton, while Harry Kane will certainly lead the line.
If Hugo Lloris is unavailable then Michel Vorm is likely to deputise, though Paulo Gazzaniga kept a clean sheet on his debut in November.
Ben Davies is set to play at left-back, with Danny Rose still nursing an injury, while Mousa Dembele turned in an impressive midfield display against Everton and may partner Eric Dier.
