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:

Kane and Maitland-Niles jockey for position during a race to Hojbjerg’s pass but it’s the former Arsenal defender who gets there first, receiving a tug in the back and a throw to the ground for his efforts. It’s a free-kick for Southampton, who will use the set-piece in their own half to get up the pitch quickly.

Now it’s Kulusevski who finds himself on his back in pain as the match once again comes to a halt. It appears as though he received a kick in the ribs from Perraud during an attempt to intercept a pass which has left the substitute winger down on the turf.
