Tottenham v Southampton, Premier League 2022/23, matchday 1, 6/8/2022, official line-ups. BeSoccer
Join us for live coverage of the Premier League clash between Tottenham and Southampton at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Who will win on the opening day?
FT: Tottenham 4-1 Southampton! All over in North London and Tottenham fully deserved to win this one. Ward-Prowse gave Southampton the lead early on, but it was a very one-sided contest. Sessegnon and Dier made it 2-1 before half-time and then a Salisu own goal and Kulusevski goal meant it finished 4-1. The Saints were never in the game to be honest and it was an easy win for the home side. Thanks for joining us and see you again soon!

The players come out here in North London!

Southampton have a few new players in their line-up. Ireland GK Gavin Bazunu and Romeo Lavia both join from Man City's U21s while Joe Aribo has moved to the club from Rangers. He scored in the Europa League final against Eintracht Frankfurt which Rangers lost on penalties.
PRVW
Richarlison and Bissouma are Tottenham's main summer signings but neither of them start while Lenglet and Perisic are also on the bench. Richarlison is suspended after throwing a flare into the crowd last season while playing for Everton.
