Brighton vs Tottenham: Premier League - LIVE!

Brighton vs Tottenham

The Spurs are looking to head into the international break with their sixth straight win in all competitions as they take on Brighton at the Amex Stadium today. Ange Postecoglou's team has seen a remarkable change in their performance since suffering two consecutive Premier League losses to Arsenal and Newcastle last month. Now, Tottenham is thriving, having dominated Manchester United at Old Trafford last weekend, followed by another victory in the Europa League against Ferencvaros in Hungary on Thursday.

Today's match on the south coast is likely to be a high-scoring one, as both teams prefer to focus on offense while showing clear weaknesses in defense. Brighton kicked off their season strongly under the league’s youngest permanent manager, Fabian Hurzeler, but they haven't won in their last four matches in the top league. In their most recent game, they were overwhelmed by Chelsea's Cole Palmer, who put in an impressive first-half performance.

Tottenham will be missing their captain Heung-min Son once more, but they are glad to have Destiny Udogie back from injury. They are sticking with the same lineup that triumphed over Manchester United. Brighton, on the other hand, is seeing the return of several players, although Joao Pedro remains out of action. Stay tuned for live updates on Brighton vs Tottenham, featuring in-depth commentary from Dan Kilpatrick of Standard Sport at the Amex.
