Tottenham Hotspur visit Southampton on Wednesday night.

Matt Le Tissier is expecting Tottenham Hotspur to lose 1-0 to his former club Southampton on Wednesday night.

Tottenham travel to the South Coast hoping to maintain their stellar league form.

Mauricio Pochettino’s side have won four of their last six Premier League matches, scoring 11 goals along the way and few would back against them at St Mary’s.

That being said, the Saints are no mugs and have won three of their last six league outings, losing just one, and Southampton icon Le Tissier is backing a 1-0 win.

Defeat would effectively kill Tottenham’s feint hopes of winning the title, with Chelsea already 13 points ahead of them at the moment.

Champions League qualification is a much more realistic prospect for Spurs and beating the Saints would put them back to within a point of fourth-placed Arsenal.
