There's an entertaining clash in store on Sunday as Brighton host Tottenham in the Premier League.

The Seagulls haven't been great over the past month, while Ange Postecoglou's Spurs have recovered well from the North London Derby defeat to Arsenal.

Match Preview

Brighton Recent Form

Brighton have just one win to their name in the last five games and that came in the League Cup versus Wolves.

In the Premier League recently, they have drew with Arsenal, Ipswich and Nottingham Forest and suffered defeat last time out against Chelsea.

Brighton Injury News

Fabian Hurzeler confirmed on Friday that James Milner, Brajan Gruda, Joel Veltman and Solly March could all feature after recent injuries.

Joao Pedro, Matt O'Riley and Jan Paul van Hecke remain absent, however.

Last Brighton Lineup

Here's how Brighton lined up against Chelsea.

Tottenham Recent Form

Since the damaging loss against Arsenal in the derby, Spurs have been flawless, winning five games in a row.

They've beat Qarabag and Ferencvaros in the Europa League, Brentford and Man Utd in the Premier League and Coventry in the League Cup.

Brighton Injury News

Wilson Odobert and Richarlison are definitely out for Spurs, while concerns remain over Heung-min Son and Destiny Udogie, both of whom weren't included in the squad for the midweek win over Ferencvaros.

Last Tottenham Lineup

Here's how Spurs lined up against Ferencvaros.

Brighton - Player To Watch

Due to the fitness issues with Evan Ferguson and Joao Pedro, Danny Welbeck has played more than he perhaps would have predicted, but he has stepped up with three goals this season and he'll again be trusted to lead the line this weekend.

Tottenham - Player To Watch

Dominic Solanke has earned a recall to the England squad and is playing with confidence at the moment with three goals and an assist in his last four games.

Brighton vs Tottenham - Prediction

With Son not fully fit, Tottenham are still a little light in the final third as Timo Werner hasn't performed and Mikey Moore is still very young. This match presents an opportunity for Brighton to reclaim their early-season form that saw them beat Man Utd and draw with Arsenal.
