Why isn't Tottenham vs Southampton live on TV in UK today? | OneFootball

Spurs are looking to bounce back following successive Premier League defeats

Tottenham host Southampton in a big game for Ange Postecoglou, as pressure builds on the Spurs head coach.

Postecoglou maintains he did not attempt to goad Spurs fans at Stamford Bridge, but results are always the best medicine and the visit of Southampton is crucial to build some momentum ahead of a crunch Europa League quarter-final with Bundesliga side Eintracht Frankfurt.

The Saints will arrive at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in not so great form despite Wednesday night’s 1-1 draw at home to Crystal Palace. Ivan Juric’s side are without a win in seven and relegation back to the Championship is a matter of when, not if.

Though, Spurs are heavy favourites to claim all three points, supporters in the UK will not be able to watch the game.
