Southampton vs Tottenham preview: FA Cup prediction, tickets, live stream, H2H, odds, team news

Tottenham continue their FA Cup campaign with a trip to face resurgent Southampton this weekend.

Spurs needed a replay to squeeze past Championship Middlesbrough in the third round, while their opponents - who have rocketed up to ninth in the Premier League - saw off second-tier opposition in Huddersfield at the first attempt.

Date: Saturday, January 25th, 2020

Venue: St Mary's, Southampton

Kick-off time: 3:00pm GMT

Prediction: Southampton 2-1 Tottenham

After previously looking a decent bet for relegation, the Saints have been on a tear of late, winning five of their last seven top-flight games to move within three points of fifth-placed Manchester United.

Tottenham, meanwhile, finally recorded their first league win of 2020 on Wednesday night, but a narrow 2-1 home defeat of rock-bottom Norwich was hardly convincing.

Danny Ings struck the winner when these sides last met on the south coast on New Year's Day - a game that also saw Harry Kane suffer a torn hamstring.

Spurs have struggled for goals in the absence of their talisman and another difficult afternoon at St Mary's likely lies in store.
