Saturday sees Mauricio Pochettino welcome the club he guided for 18 months to the new Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, it is time for the Mauricio Pochettino derby as Southampton\ncome to town and if ever Poch needed three points, it is now. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A shocking defeat to Colchester in the EFL Cup mid-week has\nleft many believing the Argentine manager is getting tired of his time in North\nLondon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, that may just be the doom mongers as three-points\nwould quickly change many people\u2019s opinions \u2013 and there is every reason to believe\nthe win is on the cards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spurs v Saints head\nto head<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Lilywhites may have taken some pain against the Saints\nthe last time they met in the Premier League in March suffering a 2-1 defeat at\nthe St Mary\u2019s Stadium in March. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, as Spurs were in the midst of a Champions League\nbattle, that result was hardly a shock and the head to head aside from that\nsways in favour of the North Londoners. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tottenham have won ten of the last fourteen meetings between\nthe two recording two wins in the process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spurs have also won the last three games on home soil\nagainst the Saints and a total of 81 wins to Southampton\u2019s 63 in all competitions.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recent form<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Southampton have been on the decline for a number of years\nprior to Ralph Hasenh\u00fcttl taking over last season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, even this season, the Saints are finding life tough\ncollecting just seven points for their seven league games this season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Life has not been much better for Tottenham having recorded\njust two wins from their six games so far including that embarrassing loss to\nColchester in the EFL Cup and a disappointing draw with Olympiakos in the\nChampions League.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Poch derby prediction<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We have to back the Lilywhites in this one even though the\nhome side have only won two of eight games in all competitions this season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Southampton are a side that try to play football and that\nwill suit Tottenham as they cut them open more often than not and get back to\ntheir scoring best with a 3-1 victory. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
