Referee: ----- Anthony Taylor ???????
TEAM FORM: --Soton - DDLDW ---- Spurs - WLDWW --(All competition)
We both will be aiming to build on Boxing Day victories in the Premier League when we lock horns at St Mary's later today. Southampton prevailed 3-2 against West Ham United at the weekend, while we cruised to a 3-0 success over Crystal Palace.
Twice Southampton were pegged back in their battle with West Ham at the London Stadium, but they would not be denied a third time, as the Saints prolonged the Hammers' misery with a thrilling 3-2
Hasenhuttl's side had gone six top-flight games without a win before prevailing at the London Stadium, and as a result the Saints have moved up to 14th in the table ahead of Everton, but they are only one point clear of the Toffees having played a game more.
The hosts will therefore continue to look over their shoulder - especially with 18th-placed Burnley nine points behind with three games in hand - but they can take solace in the fact that they are unbeaten in five Premier League games at home before we pay a visit.
After Nuno had overseen a dampening 3-0 defeat to Crystal Palace in the early months of the season, it was our turn to hit the Eagles for three with no reply this time around, as we dominated proceedings on home soil.
Moura was the star of the show with a goal and two assists on the day, with the Brazilian setting up Kane and Son either side of his header to extend Conte's strong start to life back in the Premier League. We are now unbeaten in six Premier League games since Conte took the reins - winning four of them - and we took advantage of the Saints' win over West Ham to move up to fifth in the table on Boxing Day, six points behind Arsenal having played three games fewer.
As impressive as we have been on home soil this month - with each of our last six fixtures taking place at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium - Conte has only overseen two away games with us and has failed to win either of them, with no visiting fan needing reminding of that fateful night against NS Mura.
We won both Premier League games against Southampton last season by an combined scoreline of 7-3 - netting five of those goals at St Mary's - and the pressure is now on us to translate that positive home form into results on the road.

Team News
Southampton came down with a trio of coronavirus cases before their win over West Ham, with Jack Stephens, Nathan Telia and Lyanco all returning positive tests.
Fraser Forster was fit enough to return in goal, though, leaving fellow shot-stopper Alex McCarthy (thigh) as the Saints' only injury absentee for Tuesday's game.
Hasenhuttl will certainly ring the changes given the 48-hour turnaround, as Diallo, Armstrong and Adams prepare for recalls.
As for us, Romero and Sessegnon are expected to remain in the treatment room until after the New Year, but we have no fresh concerns from the Palace win.
Gil has recovered from a bout of coronavirus and featured off the bench on Boxing Day, with Conte now potentially handing the Spanish youngster or Bergwijn a start given the 48-hour turnaround.
Harry Kane should be fine to go again after being taken off on the 64-minute mark, but Dele and Ndombele could benefit from some forced rotation here.
