"Big advantage": Paul Merson states his prediction for Tottenham vs Southampton

Paul Merson has given his prediction for the upcoming match between Tottenham and Southampton. Spurs are currently sitting in 7th place in the Premier League table with 36 points. The Saints, meanwhile, are 12th in the domestic competition, having 25 points. Antonio Conte's side will be hoping to celebrate a win in order to continue their run for a top-four finish this term. Merson believes that Tottenham "look fresh" and could beat the rivals on Wednesday evening with a score of 2 - 1. "Brighton are a decent Premier League team, and I thought Tottenham played quite well against them the other day. They look fresh, and it looks like Antonio Conte is getting them to play the way he wants them to in the Premier League," the pundit said (via Sportskeeda). "They’ve brought two players in from Juventus, but it isn’t like they were playing for them every week. Tottenham don’t have it in them to mix in with the big boys at the moment, and we’ll have to wait and see. Conte knows his signings well, however, and that’s a big advantage. "Southampton play good football but they haven’t been consistent enough in the Premier League this season. With Harry Kane looking good again, Tottenham should be able to win this game."
