Tottenham and Southampton are playing live on the English Premier League fixture schedule on Sunday after the EPL matches on Saturday and the Spurs are playing at White Hart Lane starting up at 9:30 am ET on the NBC Sports Live Extra website and it comes after a tough loss for the Hotspur in the Europa League and Tim Sherwood hopes his team can turn things around in Premiership play.
Tottenham comes into the day after a 2-2 tie against Benfica in the Europa League third round and they last lost in Premier League play to Arsenal and that was a tough 1-0 defeat at home at White Hart Lane against the Gunners. The Spurs now have a chance to bounce back and while they likely are out of the top three for the season since there aren't many games left, they can take advantage of the tough loss by Arsenal to Chelsea and they have a huge game coming up next week against Liverpool and that will be on the road at the Anfield.
Emmanuel Adebayor and Roberto Soldado have been the two most productive players for the team this year and they will be relied on for their offense on Sunday as the club hosts Southampton. After playing against the Reds on the road, the team plays against Sunderland and then they will visit West Brom before facing Fulham, Stoke City, West Ham and then Aston Villa at home at White Hart Lane. Tottenham suffered a tough loss to the Premier League leaders in Chelsea at Stamford Bridge weeks ago and now they will try to get back on track at home against Southampton and they are led by leading scorer Jay Rodriguez. J Rod and Rickie Lambert have been the two best players for the team this season and they will be the focus for the Spurs on the backline.
Sherwood took over the team this season and they have been struggling as of late and he has been under immense pressure and he is looking for his club to get things right on the pitch on Saturday. The Spurs loss in the London Derby was tough to swallow and Adebayor was out for the match against Benfica and that match comes before the late game at 12 pm and that will have Aston Villas hosting Stoke City at Villa Park. Chelsea started the day off with a big win against Arsenal at home in Stamford Bridge and now they have a nice lead at the top of the Premier League table.
Liverpool took Cardiff City after six goals and Luis Suarez once again got in on the action, while Everton won over Swansea City at Goodison Park and Hull City won over West Brom with a 2-0 victory. Manchester City and Fulham played at the Etihad and they won 5-0 in the match, while Newcastle won over Crystal Palace at home. The other matches on the day had Norwich City and Sunderland the home team won that, while Manchester United won 2-0 over West Ham on the road at Upton Park. Oscar led the way with two goals and Suarez had another hat trick game and he kept his league leading amount of goals going and he has been one of the best players this season in the league.
