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:

Clinging on to the last Champions League place by a point after Newcastle’s win yesterday, Tottenham put the disappointments of their European exit behind them by beating Nottingham Forest 3-1 last weekend. Antonio Conte’s side have won three of their last five matches in the Premier League and six of their last 10, losing the other four contests while not managing a draw since late 2022.

Southampton squandered their opportunity to lift themselves off the bottom of the table last time out, losing 2-0 to Brentford three days ago. The defeat is the Saints’ 17th of the season, and comes on the back of two clean sheets - picking up four points in that time.
