Tottenham can move into third place in the Premier League if they can bring back three points struggling Southampton on Saturday.
Having returned to winning ways with a 3-1 victory against Nottingham Forest, Spurs can capitalise on Manchester United's participation in the FA Cup this weekend. While the Red Devils will crucially have two games in hand over Spurs, there could be a real momentum boost if Tottenham were to leapfrog the Red Devils into third in the standings.
St Mary's is a ground Spurs have not fared so well at in recent years, consistency is going to be key for Antonio Conte's men once again as they look to build up some real momentum going into the business end of the campaign.

It's unlikely that Conte would want to mess with a winning side, especially when the players that came in for the win against Forest added something to the performance.
Pedro Porro brought an attacking dimension down the right and his first assist since arriving just over a month ago while Ben Davies again played his part in a victory when starting on the left.
Up front, Richarlison is yet to score in the Premier League but his battling performance against Nottingham Forest, involved in all three goals for Spurs, could be rewarded by Conte. If someone else were to come in, then the Italian is playing into exactly what the Brazilian said about suddenly being dropped for no real reason.
Dejan Kulusevski has not been at his best recently so having to prove himself from the bench might not be such a bad thing and he's a very useful weapon to bring on.
Here's the team we reckon Conte will select:
3-4-3: Forster; Romero, Dier, Lenglet; Porro, Skipp, Hojbjerg, Davies; Richarlison, Kane, Son.
