Player to watch – James Maddison
Schemer James Maddison enjoyed one of his most productive outings of the campaign when Tottenham decimated Southampton in December, netting five of Spurs’ goals in their demolition job on the Saints on the south coast.
Maddison could be influential again
Maddison has been picking up injuries this season though the 28-year-old has been influential when available, chipping in with a goal involvement every 115.5 minutes in the Premier League for Tottenham. The attacking midfielder should have more chances to shine in the final third against a weak Southampton outfit on Sunday.
