Tottenham have the chance to move back into the top four when they take on Southampton at Wembley Stadium in the Boxing Day early kick-off as the first of eight Premier League games.

Spurs striker Harry Kane seized his final chance to break Alan Shearer’s record of 36 Premier League goals in a calendar year, with the mark having stood for 22 years since Shearer helped fire Blackburn Rovers to the title until Kane headed in the opening goal of the match.

Spurs do have injury concerns on their hands though, with Eric Dier a doubt after suffering a calf strain and manager Mauricio Pochettino ready to rotate his side in order to avoid fatigue over the festive period. Southampton meanwhile are without the suspended Charlie Austin, who has been banned for three matches due to violent conduct, while defenders Cedric Soares and Ryan Bertand are doubtful.
