Team News: Hugo Lloris returns for Tottenham Hotspur

Hugo Lloris has returned to Tottenham Hotspur's starting lineup after several weeks out with injury for their trip to St Mary's to face Southampton in the Premier League this afternoon.

The French international's inclusion means that Michel Vorm drops to the bench, while Ben Davies and Ryan Mason are also included in three changes to the side that beat Newcastle United last weekend.

Meanwhile, the hosts have made just one change following their 2-1 defeat to Stoke City last time out.

James Ward-Prowse returns to the side in place of Dusan Tadic, who is on the bench, while Nathaniel Clyne makes his 100th appearance for the club.

Southampton: K Davis, Clyne, Fonte, Yoshida, Bertrand, Alderweireld, Schneiderlin, S Davis, Ward-Prowse, Mane, Pelle Subs: Gazzaniga, Gardos, Long, Tadic, Elia, Reed, Targett

Tottenham: Lloris, Dier, Fazio, Vertonghen, Davies, Bentaleb, Mason, Chadli, Eriksen, Lamela, Kane Subs:Vorm, Chiriches, Yedlin, Dembele, Stambouli, Townsend, Soldado
