Barclays Premier League
Tottenham vs. Southampton
Saturday, May 4, 9:55 a.m.
ESPN Deportes TV and ESPN Deportes+
With the top three finishers in the EPL receiving automatic bids for Champions League play and the fourth-place club making it to CL qualifying, Tottenham and American international Clint Dempsey will be vying for its opportunity, as the team sits one spot away from the fourth spot in the table, currently held by Arsenal with four matches remaining in the schedule. Southampton, currently 13th in the league, is by no means in a comfortable position to remain in the EPL, with only seven points separating the Saints from the relegation spot held by Wigan Athletic.
