Southampton are aiming to derail Tottenham's momentum on Sunday afternoon, according to Saints midfielder James Ward-Prowse.
Spurs have been installed as clear favourites ahead of the Premier League clash, having avoided defeat in 14 top-flight fixtures on home turf this season.
Mauricio Pochettino's side occupy second place in the table and will be determined to secure all three points in order to tighten their grip on a top-four position.
But Southampton will travel to White Hart Lane in decent form, courtesy of back-to-back victories over Sunderland and Watford.
And Ward-Prowse is keen to notch up a win prior to the international break after enjoying an extended period without a game since claiming a thrilling 3-2 win at Vicarage Road.
"We showed great character in the way that we bounced back and showed the depth of that character in the win at Watford," the 22-year-old told Southampton's official website.
“Football revolves around momentum and I think we can carry into the Tottenham game.
“They’ve got a bit of momentum themselves and I think it’ll be an important game to win heading into that international break."
Spurs have blown several teams away in N17 this term, but are expected to be without star striker Harry Kane for the foreseeable future.
The 23-year-old has suffered ankle ligament damage and it is not yet clear when he will be able to return to action.
Heung-min Son and Vincent Janssen will be expected to fill the Englishman's void but Saints defender Cedric Soares is convinced Claude Puel's side have a real chance to cause an upset.
“They are very well-organised and of course it’s going to be tough but we are definitely in a good moment.
“Everyone feels that and we breed confidence right now so I think if we go there and play our game we will have our chance,” said the Portuguese.
