Spurs unchanged from win at Old Trafford as they eye fifth win on the bounce
Spurs attempt to go into the international break with a sixth victory in succession across all competitions as they visit the Amex Stadium this afternoon. It has been quite a turnaround in fortunes for Ange Postecoglou’s side since their back-to-back Premier League defeats by Arsenal and Newcastle last month, with Tottenham now soaring on all fronts after demolishing sorry Manchester United at Old Trafford last weekend before making it consecutive Europa League triumphs against Ferencvaros in Hungary on Thursday.
A high-scoring affair could well be on the cards on the south coast today, with both of these sides loving to attack with obvious defensive frailties. Brighton made a superb start to life under the league’s youngest-ever permanent manager in Fabian Hurzeler, but are now winless in four in the the top-flight and were destroyed by Chelsea record-breaker Cole Palmer in just the first half last time out.
Spurs are without captain Heung-min Son again but welcome back Destiny Udogie from injury, as they go with the same side that beat United. The Seagulls have a number of players returning, but Joao Pedro is still sidelined. Follow Brighton vs Tottenham live below, with expert analysis from Standard Sport’s Dan Kilpatrick at the Amex.
