Brighton eye win in mid-table clash against Spurs.
Brighton and Hove Albion aim to bounce back from their first defeat under Fabian Hürzeler as they host an invigorated Tottenham Hotspur, who seek a third consecutive victory in their mid-table clash at Falmer Stadium.
Brighton & Hove Albion
Fabian Hürzeler experienced his first defeat with Brighton in last weekend's 4-2 loss to Chelsea. The Seagulls initially took the lead within the first ten minutes and scored again shortly after the half-hour mark. However, Cole Palmer's decisive performance ended Brighton’s five-game unbeaten run.
The home team slipped into 9th place following the defeat, maintaining 9 points. Regaining their winning form will be their main aim this weekend. A win for the Seagulls would mean consecutive home victories over Spurs, replicating last season’s 4-2 triumph.
Prior to that win, Brighton fell to consecutive Premier League home defeats against Tottenham without scoring during the 2021-22 and 2022-23 seasons. If the match results in a draw, it would mark the Seagulls' first instance of securing three consecutive home draws since November 2023.
In terms of formation, a 4—2—3—1 setup with Danny Welbeck leading the attack might be expected against Spurs. Unfortunately, Brighton will be missing up to four players for the upcoming match, including James Milner and Solly March.
Tottenham Hotspur
Tottenham Hotspur are positioned just above Brighton as both sides prepare for this mid-table clash. Last weekend, Spurs secured a convincing 3-0 victory over a ten-man Manchester United, propelling them to 8th place with 10 points [3W, 1D, 2L], which is just one point more than their Sunday opponents.
Following their domestic triumph, Tottenham come off a 2-1 win against Ferencvárosi TC in the UEFA Europa League. An away win at Brighton would mark their third consecutive victory, a feat they haven't achieved since December last year. Previously, Spurs endured back-to-back Premier League losses before picking up wins in their last two matches.
Ange Postecoglou aims for his team, renowned for having the joint-best defensive record in the Premier League, to maintain successive clean sheets after their recent shutout. A potential 4—3—3 formation might see Dominic Solanke, notable for his striking performance in the Manchester United game, partnering with Brennan Johnson and Heung-Min Son up front.
In squad developments, Ange Postecoglou provided an update on Destiny Udogie, who was substituted during last weekend’s match against the Red Devils. "We’ll see how he is," he mentioned, noting that Udogie felt something in his quad but managed to complete the half.
