A number of new acquisitions should feature in the Tottenham Hotspur starting lineup against the Saints, but it remains to be seen exactly how many debuts are handed.<\/p>\n<h3>Tottenham Hotspur Injuries to Consider<\/h3>\n<p>Oliver Skipp is definitely ruled out for the game against Southampton, as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.football.london\/tottenham-hotspur-fc\/news\/tottenham-vs-southampton-injury-news-24670625\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">indicated by Conte in his pre-match press conference<\/a>.
