Southampton gave everything they had against Crystal Palace but the hosts ran away with a precious win.

They have the chance to have a go at the wounded lion.

Bruised and battered Spurs with Jose Mourinho having a thing or two to say about the position of the free-kick they conceded from.

That aside, Southampton must be brave and must bring back the energy that they exerted on Spurs on this ground last season when Danny Ings turned inside Toby Alderwereld before slotting past Hugo Lloris in goal.

Spurs went past Bulgarian side, Botev Plovdiv in Europa on Thursday night.

They can put the horrendous home show against Everton behind them and restart their league campaign.

They can be fired up by the imminent arrivals of Gareth Bale and Sergio Reguilon.

The former was a sensation at White Hart Lane before swapping premier league for La Liga where he won everything including an unprecedented back to back champions league titles.

Why it didn’t end well with Madrid will be discussed on other days but his stats cannot be overstated.

It’s a London derby, one both sides need after losing by the same margins in their respective first games.
