We simulated Tottenham vs Southampton to get a score prediction for Premier League clash

Tottenham Hotspur return to Premier League action this midweek following their progression to the FA Cup fifth round, as Antonio Conte's side continue the fight for a top-four place.

Following a busy January transfer window, Spurs currently sit in seventh in the Premier League, two points off the top four, but crucially, have games in hand on their rivals Manchester United, West Ham and Arsenal.

Conte's side face a tough fixture against Southampton who took a point from top of the table Man City in their last Premier League game.

Eric Dier, Japhet Tanganga and Oliver Skipp are all unavailable for the game against Saints on Wednesday, but new signings Dejan Kulusevski and Rodrigo Bentancur could earn their first starts for Spurs if Conte looks to rotate his squad with a number of important games on the horizon.

So, what line-up will Conte select? And, what could the final score be?

Spurs started the game slowly, with Southampton putting pressure on the home side from kick-off. Che Adams struck the post after five minutes with a whipped effort that almost caught Hugo Lloris out.

A poor tackle from Salisu saw Steven Bergwijn need to be substituted off the pitch just before half-time, with Lucas Moura replacing the Dutch winger ahead of new signing
