Tottenham v Brighton: match preview

Tottenham v Brighton
Tottenham v Brighton: probable starters in bold, contenders in light Illustration: Guardian

Tottenham will be without the wing-back Matt Doherty, who is out for the season with a knee injury picked up during last Saturday’s win at Aston Villa. Antonio Conte’s side will hope to add to a four-match winning run that has included 14 goals. The in-form Son Heung-min has scored six of those. Brighton ended a streak of six defeats and a draw in their past seven matches with a fine 2-1 victory at Arsenal. Graham Potter could name an unchanged team but Adam Webster is pushing for a start after returning from injury as a substitute at the Emirates. Ronnie Ruff
