Team News

Brighton

Fabian Hurzeler’s main concern is the fitness of left-back Maxim De Cuyper, who is a doubt after being forced off with an injury at Bournemouth. However, the manager has been handed a significant boost with the return of midfield duo Mats Wieffer and Diego Gomez from minor knocks.

Tottenham Hotspur

Thomas Frank has no new major injury worries following the midweek Champions League victory over Villarreal. The manager may opt for a slight rotation to keep his side fresh, but he is expected to keep the core of his impressive defensive unit unchanged for the trip to the south coast.

Form

Brighton

The Seagulls have had a mixed start to the season and are searching for consistency. Their 2-1 loss to Bournemouth highlighted their struggles in front of goal, where they managed just two shots on target from 20 attempts. However, their home form is excellent. They are unbeaten in their last six games at the Amex Stadium and beat Manchester City there before the international break.

Tottenham Hotspur

Spurs are in excellent form, sitting third in the Premier League and fresh from a winning start in Europe. The defensive transformation under Thomas Frank has been remarkable, with the team keeping four clean sheets in five competitive matches this season. Furthermore, they have a perfect away record in the league, winning both games on the road without conceding a goal.

Predicted Lineups

Brighton predicted XI: Verbruggen; Veltman, Van Hecke, Dunk, Kadioglu; Milner, Baleba; Minteh, Rutter, Mitoma; Welbeck

Tottenham Hotspur predicted XI: Vicario; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie; Palhinha, Bentancur; Bergvall, Kudus, Richarlison; Simons
