Tottenham enter the new year with a trip to the seaside to take on relegation-threatened Southampton at the St Mary\u2019s Stadium. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But will it\nbe new year\u2019s celebrations for Jose Mourinho\u2019s men or will the Saints go\nmarching on to a vital three points?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will only know for sure around 5 pm on Wednesday but there are some important stats that we can look at for some clues as to who the victor may be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Head to\nhead<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Tottenham\nhave already enjoyed one success over Southampton this season when Tanguy\nNdomb\u00e8l\u00e9 and Harry Kane struck either side of a Danny Ings strike to hand Spurs\nan important 2-1 win on home soil. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That was\nrevenge though as the last time the Lilywhites traveled to the South Coast, a\n2-1 result also occurred, but this time in favour of the Saints as Yann Valery\nand James Ward-Prowse suck late to cancel out Kane\u2019s early goal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remarkably\nthough, Harry kane has scored in his last five games against Southampton meaning\nif you are going to back a player to score, make sure it is England\u2019s leading\nmarksman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall, Southampton has claimed 63 wins over the Lilywhites with Tottenham winning 82 and a total of 49 draws across all competitions since the pair first met in a 1-1 draw 1897.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This\nseason\u2019s stats<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Eek, look away\nnow Saints fans as a home win looks unlikely. With just eight points collected\nat St Mary\u2019s this season, only West Ham have collected fewer points on home\nsoil. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However,\nSpurs have hardly been prolific on the road either collecting just two wins and\nten points to leave them 12th<\/sup> in the Premier League away table. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the road\nis clearly where Mourinho has some work to do although Spurs have only lost\nonce away at Southampton in their last seven visits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tottenham has also scored 12 more goals than Southampton this season with 36 and conceded nine fewer (29 to 38) meaning that on paper at least, it really should the Lilywhites who are celebrating success. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However,\nSouthampton do come into the game on a run of form that has seen them collect\nseven out of a possible nine points in their last three Premier League games\nwhilst Tottenham drew their last away game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps\nbacking the draw is where the sensible money is at!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
