Tottenham and Southampton this afternoon face off in north London on the opening weekend of the Premier League campaign.
Antonio Conte is desperate for Spurs to push on after a top-four finish last season returned them to Champions League football.
A plethora of summer signings have arrived to bolster their squad with victory firmly expected of the hosts in north London against a Saints side once again hoping to reach the upper echelons of mid-table.
But Ralph Hasenhuttl must first ensure Southampton’s survival and an opening day win would immediately lift the mood on the south coast.
