We simulated Brighton vs Tottenham in Premier League to get a score prediction

Tottenham take on Brighton in the Premier League tonight, with Spurs looking to respond with a positive result after a disappointing 3-2 defeat to top four rivals Manchester United at the weekend.

Antonio Conte's side have now won four of their last eight fixtures in all competitions, highlighting Spurs' inconsistent form in recent weeks, but the club still hopeful of finishing in the top four.

Conte revealed that he will have the same selection of players available for the game against Brighton as he did for the loss against United on Saturday, whilst also admitting he 'does not know' when midfielder Oliver Skipp may return from injury.

So, what line-up will Conte select against Brighton? And, what could the final score be?

We used FIFA 22 to get a score prediction for Brighton v Tottenham on Wednesday and this is what happened...

Brighton vs Tottenham score predicted by simulation

We used kick-off mode in FIFA 22, but didn't select a team to control, we then selected the teams and watched the match play out by itself, to give us a score prediction.

We predict that Tottenham could set up in a 3-4-3 formation, with their line-up as follows: Lloris; Romero, Dier, Davies; Doherty, Bentancur, Hojbjerg, Reguilon; Kulusevski, Son, Kane.

We predict that Brighton could set up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with their line-up as follows: Sanchez; Lamptey, Veltman, Dunk, Cucurella; Alzate, Bissouma; Welbeck, Moder, Trossard; Maupay.

Spurs started the game confidently with Kane and Son linking up straight away, threatening the Brighton defence as Reguilon and Doherty provided wider options and overloaded the hosts' defensive line.

Harry Kane opened the scoring in the 35th minute with Spurs turning their pressure into an opening goal, scoring his 12th goal in 27 games this season.

Kane received the ball on the edge of the penalty box, beat Dunk for pace and fired a shot towards the near post giving Sanchez no time to react as the 28-year-old put the away side 1-0 up. Heung-Min Son doubled Spurs' advantage with a brilliant acrobatic goal just three minutes later, as Brighton continued to struggle to contain Conte's side.

Doherty whipped the ball in towards the back post as Son drifted into some space and used his athletic ability to score an amazing overhead kick that looped over Sanchez and into the back of Brighton's net.

Spurs held their two-goal advantage heading into the second half before substitute Lucas Moura added a third, pouncing on the rebound following Son's powerful strike from the edge of the box.

Son picked the ball up on the halfway line and drove at the Brighton defence before darting inside and lashing a shot towards goal. Sanchez got down well to save the ball but was unable to hold onto it as Moura ran in and tapped the ball home into an empty net to kill the game off and make it 3-0 to Spurs.

Conte's side saw the game out as Spurs returned to winning ways and moved level on points with West Ham in sixth.

FIFA 22 predicts that Tottenham have the quality to control the game, dominate possession and create plenty of chances against an out-of-form Brighton side, with three points a distinct possibility on Wednesday, provided Spurs put in a strong performance.

In this simulation, goals from Kane, Son and Moura gave Spurs a convincing 3-0 win on the south-coast as Conte's side took all three points and continued to fight for a Champions League spot, which would see them move above Wolves and go level on points with West Ham in sixth.
