Follow live coverage as Southampton face Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League today.

Saints remain bottom of the table despite an upturn in performance level under Ruben Selles; defeat last time out means they are still two points from safety but it’s so tight at the bottom that a win could see them up into 16th.

As for Spurs, three wins in their last four despite uneven performances mean they sit fourth, a point ahead of Newcastle who clinched a win on Friday night. Antonio Conte remains under pressure for a fairly poor season overall, but clinching a top-four finish remains the objective.

We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:

Porro floats a lovely cross towards the far post from a position deep on the right wing but Son scuffs his left-footed attempt and sends it across the face of goal harmlessly.

Tottenham name an unchanged side from the line-up that beat Nottingham Forest 3-1. Forster starts in goal behind a three-man defence comprising of Romero, Dier and Lenglet. Porro and Davies are entrusted with the wing-back positions either side of Skipp and Hojbjerg in midfield, while Son and Richarlison will do their best to supply Kane.
