Tottenham possible 11:
Lloris, Davies, Dier, Romero, Reguilon, Højbjerg, Bentancur, Doherty, Kulusevski, Son and Kane
Prediction: Brighton 0-2 Tottenham
If Brighton’s record at home is taken into consideration, they are close to relegation; which goes to show how poor they have been this season.
Hence, we expect Spurs to get back to winning ways here with a comfortable win as they face a side lacking confidence and winning mentality.
Players to watch out for: Maupay, Bissouma, Son and Kulusevski.
