Spurs can climb out of relegation zone with three points

Roberto De Zerbi’s rescue mission continues on Saturday as his imperiled Tottenham host Brighton in the Premier League.

Spurs are two points adrift of 17th-placed West Ham, and will require nothing less than a win here if they are to quell fans’ increasingly rational fears of going down.

But they will have their work cut out for them as they face the Premier League’s form side, Fabian Hurzeler’s Seagulls.

They will be reasonably confident of taking three points away from north London, though, with Spurs’ ever-accelerating downward spiral leaving them winless in the Premier League in 2026.

Tottenham vs Brighton is scheduled for a 5.30pm BST kick-off on Saturday, April 18, 2026.

The match will take place at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

TV channel: In the UK, the game will be televised live on Sky Sports Premier League and Main Event, with coverage starting at 5pm BST ahead of a 5.30pm kick-off.

Live stream: Sky Sports subscribers can also catch the contest live online via the Sky Go app and website.

Live blog: You can follow all the action on matchday via Standard Sport’s live blog, with expert analysis from Sam Tabuteau at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Tottenham vs Brighton team news

Tottenham’s grim recent form has been brought on largely by a sustained injury crisis, with Cristian Romero the latest addition to the list after he picked up a knee injury in a collision with Antonin Kinsky at the Stadium of Light.

Elsewhere, Guglielmo Vicario is pushing to recover from a hernia surgery and could be involved, though Mohammed Kudus will miss out after suffering a setback in his recovery from a thigh injury.

Dejan Kulusevski remains AWOL with a nebulous knee injury and James Maddison is due to miss the remainder of the campaign as he recovers from ACL surgery. So too will Wilson Odobert and Ben Davies.

There has been a rare shred of positive injury news for Spurs, though, with Rodrigo Bentancur returning to training after undergoing a hamstring surgery of his own.

Brighton, meanwhile, cannot call upon Stefanos Tzimas or Adam Webster due to knee ligament injuries, with both set to miss the end of the season.

Veteran defender Lewis Dunk is suspended for this match, while his elder James Milner is a doubt after he missed last week’s win over Burnley with what Hurzeler described as a “minor, minor injury”.

Tottenham vs Brighton prediction

While Spurs had flashes of threat against Sunderland, they did not look like scoring at any point and came away with another grim defeat, their seventh in eight league matches.

While De Zerbi has now had another week on the training pitch to get his side on song, he has a huge task at hand to right this severely listing ship.

Coming up against the club he once managed, the Italian will be desperate for three points, but it remains to be seen whether five days of training will be enough to turn this abject Spurs side around.

With Brighton very much on form, we expect another tough afternoon for Spurs.

Brighton to win, 2-0.
