Three Southampton players who should get their chance against Spurs

Jose Fonte

The Portugal international was the main talking point ahead of Saints’ clash with Bournemouth before Christmas as the captain was spotted having an ‘animated’ discussion with boss Claude Puel on the touchline before being named on the bench.

Thankfully for Puel, Bournemouth were well off the pace that day and there were no worries at the back. However, Spurs propose a different threat and the European champion needs a chance to show just how important he is to this side.
