Michael Owen states his prediction for Tottenham v Southampton

Michael Owen has given his prediction for Wednesday's Premier League clash between Tottenham and Southampton. Spurs are set to play their first league match under the new-appointed interim coach Ryan Mason, after the sacking of Jose Mourinho on Monday morning. The Lilywhites are currently sitting in 7th place in the Premier League table, while the Saints are 14th on the list. Ahead of the upcoming clash, Owen has spoken up, backing Mason to celebrate his first win as a coach with a score of 2 – 1.  "Tottenham earned themselves a point at Goodison Park on Friday night in an entertaining 2-2 draw which turned out to be Jose Mourinho’s last game in charge following his surprise sacking on Monday," the pundit said. It remains to be seen how this turmoil at the club will affect the players and with Harry Kane picking up an injury late on that looks as though it might keep him out for a couple of weeks or so, this is likely to be a difficult match for Spurs. That said, Southampton have to pick themselves up from their semi-final defeat to Leicester on Sunday. Travelling away from home after such a loss can be difficult, and up against a Spurs side that despite their problems, are still chasing a Champions League spot, I think they may just come up short."
