    But former Middlesbrough winger Marcus Tavernier will be eager to impress on the flanks for Bournemouth.

    The Portsmouth man beat Chris Kongo on points last year on the Dillian Whyte vs Alexander Povetkin 2 undercard, and is confident of another big win here.

    Unfortunately, Tottenham vs Southampton will NOT be shown live on TV because of the 3pm blackout in the UK.
    As a result, there is nowhere to stream the game either.

    Team news
    Harry Kane, Heung-min Son and Richarlison could very well start in a front three against the Saints on Saturday.
    Perisic could also see some action but will likely come on as a sub, and the same can be said for Bissouma.
    Southampton will have a fresh James Ward-Prowse in midfield but it remains to be seen whether Walker-Peters will feature, given the speculation over his future.
    Odds

    Tottenham – 1/3
    Draw – 4/1
    Southampton – 15/2
