Tottenham v Brighton

Tottenham vs Brighton Preview

Tottenham extended their unbeaten sequence in the Premier League to four games last time out with a 2-2 draw away from home at Everton which has maintained Spurs' fifth place position in the Premier League table while Brighton registered a comprehensive 4-1 rout of rivals, Crystal Palace, so the visitors will also have reason to be upbeat about their chances here in the nation's capital.

Tottenham have picked up wins against Bournemouth and Brentford by way of 3-1 and 3-2 victories respectively along with picking up points in draws with Manchester United 2-2 and the aforementioned Everton result which also ended in a 2-2 stalemate.

Spurs have been dealt just one defeat within their last eight matches overall in the English top flight which came in the shape of a 4-2 loss away from home at Saturday's opponents Brighton towards the end of last year but nevertheless, Ange Postecoglou's side have also recorded five wins within this period as well which has helped the north London club maintain their course for a potential European spot for next season.

Goals also look set to feature as seven of Tottenham's last eight games have also resulted in Over 2.5 goals while six of these eight games have also produced four goals or more.

Brighton moved up into eighth place in the Premier League table following a resounding a 4-1 victory over their A23 rivals Crystal Palace in last weekend's fixture but league wins for The Seagulls have not been easy to pick up in recent times as the visitors have managed to accumulate just four wins from their last 17 matches overall in the top flight.

Victories gained over Nottingham Forest, Brentford, Tottenham (at home) and Crystal Palace have perhaps not been enough to push Roberto de Zerbi's side back into serious contention for a possible European spot as they trail their hosts Tottenham by a nine- point margin prior to this weekend's top flight action.

The Seagulls have only slipped to five defeats within this period but nevertheless, eight draws as well within this 17-match period have also not been enough for Brighton to make an impact upon the top five pack in the Premier League table.

Results away from home have also been disappointing for Brighton as The Seagulls have recorded just one win from their last nine outings on the road whilst also slipping to five defeats as well which have been handed out to the south coast side on their travels at the likes of Aston Villa, Manchester City, Chelsea, Arsenal and Luton Town respectively.
