Tottenham enhanced their top four credentials in the Premier League last weekend with a stirring 3-0 win over Man United.
They will be favored to maintain that winning sequence when making the journey to Brighton this weekend.
The Seagulls come into the round after failing to win in their last four, playing out draws in three matches over that period.
However, a response will be expected after throwing away an advantage at Stamford Bridge against Chelsea last Saturday.
Odds: Spurs Narrowly Preferred
Tottenham will be narrowly preferred in the betting for the showdown this Sunday. Spurs are currently priced up at +127, while Brighton are a +192 chance to bounce back to winning ways.
| Match Result | Odds |
|---|---|
| Brighton | +192 |
| Draw | +297 |
| Tottenham | +127 |

| Goals | 48 | 19 | 29 |
Tottenham have a productive recent record against Brighton after winning three of the last four. However, they were soundly beaten in this exact fixture last season.
Goals should be in abundance at Brighton this weekend. An average of four goals per game have been scored across the last three.
🚨⚽ TIP: Over 2.5 goals has been a winning selection in each of the last three meetings. (Over 2.5 Goals @ -275)
Brighton Team News
Brighton will have a number of injury concerns ahead of the visit of Tottenham. Joel Veltman and Jan Paul van Hecke are both in a race against time to be fit after recovering from illness and a muscle injury, respectively.
However, Sunday’s showdown could come too soon for Simon Adingra, Joao Pedro, and James Milner. Matt O’Riley isn’t expected to make his Premier League debut until November.
Possible Lineup
Bart Vebruggen (GK); Igor Julio, Adam Webster, Lewis Dunk, Pervis Estupinan, Carlos Baleba, Mats Wieffer, Jack Hinshelwood, Georgino Rutter, Danny Welbeck, Kaoru Mitoma
Key Stat
Brighton will need to improve defensively this weekend after keeping just one clean sheet in their last five matches across all competitions.
Tottenham Team News
Despite having to juggle a midweek Europa League match against Ferencvaros, Ange Postecoglou is unlikely to ring the changes for the visit to Brighton.
Richarlison remains out for Spurs, but Heung Min Son should be back in contention after missing last weekend’s win at Old Trafford. However, Destiny Udogie could miss out due to a muscle injury.
Possible Lineup
Guglielmo Vicario (GK); Pedro Porro, Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven, Djed Spence, Dejan Kulusevski, Rodrigo Bentancur, James Maddison, Brennan Johnson, Dominic Solanke, Heung Min Son
Key Stat
Spurs have clicked into gear in the final third in recent weeks. They have now netted at least three goals in each of their last three matches across all competitions.
Brighton vs. Tottenham Prediction
Tottenham’s possession-based game will be key to their chances of victory on Sunday.
Brighton will look to hit on the counter-attack, but given Tottenham’s recent clinical edge in the final third of the field, we will be siding with a win for the visitors at the Amex.
