Southampton 0-0 Tottenham
19 mins: Another half-chance for Tottenham, again created by Kane. He turned Bednarek again and had Son running through on goal ahead of him, but he couldn’t find the pass off the half-volley with his left foot. There’s plenty of space out there for Tottenham’s forward runners and they’re looking to play through Kane whenever they can.
Southampton 0-0 Tottenham
16 mins: Almost a horror moment for Winks! The midfielder loses possession cheaply after being pressed by Diallo. It’s fed to Armstrong, who only needs to slip Long through on goal, but Winks gets back to cut it out and make amends.
Southampton 0-0 Tottenham
15 mins: No goal! From the free-kick, Son plays a lovely clipped ball over the Southampton line and finds Davies at the back post, who heads into the net. But it’s offside! Southampton held their line well and Davies, as well as two or three other Spurs players, went too early.
Southampton 0-0 Tottenham
13 mins: Brilliant forward play again from Kane. He spins away from Bednarek and plays a lovely ball into space for Reguilon to run onto. It’s a foot race between him and Walker-Peters, and the Southampton wing-back hauls him down. That’s a yellow card.
Southampton 0-0 Tottenham
12 mins: Big chance for Spurs! It’s brilliant from Kane, who nutmegs Salisu on the halfway line before skipping past Bednarek. That opens up space for Dele to run into, and all Kane has to do is slide him through on goal. Kane’s pass is too strong, though, and Forster can gather.
Southampton 0-0 Tottenham
10 mins: Spurs have been looking to hit Kane early but the long balls forward to the striker have yet to stick so far, while Son has barely had a touch. Southampton have made the far brighter start.
Valery tries his luck from 25 yards but he skews his effort well wide of goal.
Southampton 0-0 Tottenham
8 mins: Another chance for Southampton! It comes from Walker-Peters again, who beats Reguilon to the byline before standing the ball up in the area. Adam Armstrong gets up a moment too early and can’t direct his header on target from eight yards.
Southampton 0-0 Tottenham
6 mins: Chance! Walker-Peters picks up the ball on the right and curls in a lovely ball towards Long, who gets in front of Sanchez to flick a header towards goal. It drifts just wide of the post - and Long was a half a yard offside anyway.
Southampton 0-0 Tottenham
3 mins: The game is still settling down in these early stages. Emerson makes an overlapping run but Perraud cuts out the pass, before Adam Armstrong goes on a dribble down the left but is shut off by Sanchez.
KICK-OFF! Southampton 0-0 Tottenham
The players take the knee and Harry Kane gets us underway.
Southampton have switched their system to mirror Tottenham’s with Walker-Peters and Perraud the wing-backs. Walker-Peters clatters into Reguilon and concedes the game’s first foul.
