Preview: Tottenham vs Brighton
Tottenham Hotspur look to solidify their spot in the Premier League top four when they host the relegation threatened Brighton on Tuesday at their newly built Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Losing back-to-back matches in all competitions, Tottenham Hotspur will attempt to get back to winning ways when they play Premier League strugglers Brighton & Hove Albion at home.
It’s been a pretty emotional week for Spurs fans as Tottenham Hotspur visited the Etihad on Saturday afternoon, and for the second time in a row they came away on the end of a narrow defeat. But thanks to Arsenal’s defeat against Crystal Palace, they still hold a place in the top four.
Brighton will be desperate to get something out of the game, as they sit just a place and three points above the relegation zone. Brighton will have to perform at their best to fight for a place out of the relegation zone.
Spurs' record at home against sides in the bottom half of the table is exceptional. Pochettino's men have won all eight home games against sides currently in the bottom half of the table.
Chris Hughton's side have lost five of their last six games in all competitions. They have failed to score a single goal, 466 league minutes without finding the back of the net, goalless run, which could continue.
​
Players to watch:
With Harry Kane still missing, Son Heung-min will be the one to watch. The South Korean attacker has done well filling the boots of Harry Kane since his injury. Scoring four goals in his last five competitive games for Spurs, the fans expects to see him to get on the score-sheet. Christian Eriksen has been fantastic this season for Spurs. With 12 assists through the course of the campaign while he has also scored 6.
Brighton will face difficulty defending Tottenham’s lethal Son, Eriksen and Lucas.
