Spurs expected team vs Southampton as Djed Spence and Lucas Bergvall calls made

Ange Postecoglou needs his Tottenham Hotspur players to get back to winning ways as they travel to the Premier League's bottom side Southampton on Sunday night.

Spurs have dropped to 12th place in the table and need to grab three points if they are to start climbing back up a tightly-packed bunch. Postecoglou's men have gone through a tough spell of results with so many players missing and that only gets worse for the trip to St Mary's.

Yves Bissouma joins Rodrigo Bentancur on the suspension list, with Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven, Guglielmo Vicario, Ben Davies, Richarlison and Wilson Odobert all out injured and Mikey Moore recovering from illness.
