Expect goals at Wembley as eager sides meet

Premier League
8pm Wednesday

Southampton start life after Mark Hughes at Wembley under the caretaker stewardship of Kelvin Davis, and there is plenty for them to build on after their 2-2 draw against Manchester United.

Spurs will be smarting, however, after Sunday's defeat to Arsenal and will seek to replicate last season's 5-2 thrashing of the Saints.

The introduction of Stuart Armstrong and redeployment of Nathan Redmond has given Saints more of a threat and they can play their part in a decent affair.

Recommendation
Both teams to score & over 2.5 goals
2pts 13-10 Boyles, Coral, Hills
