Tottenham travel to Brighton today looking to get back to winning ways after two frustrating results in the Premier League and Champions League.
Defeat in the north London derby - their first loss in the Premier League this season - was followed by a blunt 0-0 draw with Frankfurt in the Champions League, prompting questions over Antonio Conte’s tactical approach.
Spurs can close the gap on Arsenal, who face Liverpool the following day, but will be wary of a team who have repeatedly taken points off big teams, including a 3-3 draw with the Reds in new manager Roberto De Zerbi’s first match in charge.

Brighton vs Tottenham prediction
Brighton have seven points from their three home games this season and in Leandro Trossard have one of the form players in the league. This will be no walk in the park for Spurs, who lost to this team at home in April.
Conte’s side had more about them in Frankfurt, but were guilty of missing chances as their defence, as usual, stood tall. It’ll again go down to proficiency up top.
Spurs to win 2-1.
