Brighton host Tottenham looking to boost their hopes of remaining in the Premier League, while Jose Mourinho’s side will be eager to bounce back tonight.
Harry Kane’s injury is a major concern, but it will provide opportunities for others, including Gareth Bale, who is yet to rediscover his best form since completing a loan move from Real Madrid.
Graham Potter’s side have produced a number of good performances recently, including the stalemate with Fulham, their rivals in the battle to beat the drop, but the finishing touches to moves have often been lacking in recent weeks.
“I know that it’s not easy if you haven’t been playing football for a while to suddenly hit the ground running in the Premier League, it’s not that simple, regardless of who you are,” Potter said of Bale. “You need a bit of time, you need to get into that rhythm, adapt to the league, even though he’s coming in having been here in the past. If you haven’t been playing regularly, the demands and the intensity of it are quite strong and then he’s going to a club that’s obviously got competition and good players. I haven’t given it a massive amount of thought but it’s a lot to do with the challenges of the Premier League.”

Brighton XI: Sanchez, White, Webster, Dunk, Bissouma, Veltman, Gross, Mac Allister, March, Trossard, Maupay
Tottenham XI: Lloris, Sanchez, Alderweireld, Rodon, Davies, Hojbjerg, Sissoko, Ndombele, Bergwijn, Bale, Son
A crucial game for Jose Mourinho and his ability to inspire a top four push, particularly without Harry Kane. Can he find a solution to Spurs’ attacking threat without his greatest weapon? Brighton meanwhile will not be satisfied with just a point and always play to win, the fragile nature of Spurs’ back line against Liverpool may provide encouragement, and for that reason we’ll opt for a draw, a common result at the Amex in recent times. Brighton 1-1 Tottenham.
