Brighton vs Tottenham

We return to Premier League action this evening as we make the trip to Brighton & Hove Albion (kick-off 5.30pm UK).

Another man who has been in fine form this season has been Harry Kane – and he has quite the record against Brighton. A staple of Brighton during their time in the Premier League so far has been their defensive rigour. A man to watch out for at the Amex will be Brighton forward Leandro Trossard. No side this season has used fewer players in the Premier League than Brighton (19). It has now been seven home league games for the Seagulls since our 2-0 victory there and they remain unbeaten in that period, winning four and drawing three of those matches. It was a fine night for us last time out at the Amex as we overcame Brighton 2-0 in March.

Brighton vs Tottenham is an early-season test of credentials as the hosts look to show their top-four quality is on the level of their third-place visitors.

This is not to be put beyond them as Tottenham, on the other hand, have won just one of their four top-flight fixtures on their travels. Antonio Conte’s side have only won one of their last four games in all competitions, though, and they suffered a 3-1 defeat to Arsenal in the North London derby last weekend; Harry Kane’s penalty levelled the scores in the 31st minute, but the Gunners scored twice more through Gabriel Jesus and Granit Xhaka. Coming into the encounter, Brighton have actually won two of their last three Premier League games against Spurs, including a 1-0 victory at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium back in April, but the North London club recorded a 2-0 win in the corresponding game between the two sides last term.

Overall, Bissouma has played just 160 minutes in eight appearances, and been handed just one start – away to West Ham United when Bentancur was unavailable.

After all, in the last two seasons he was unquestionably one of the best players outside of the so-called ‘big six’. Conte said last month that he is “struggling a bit with the tactical aspect” and “defensively has to pay more attention”, and the Italian’s insistence on picking Rodrigo Bentancur and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg instead is obvious proof that he does not believe Bissouma to be ready. Kane pushes Webster aside and takes a shot on, edge of the box. The Brighton captain was obliged to do the same moments later, when Kane sent his partner away to chase a fine through ball. It was a bit of a scrappy goal. His astute chip back to Son bypassed the Brighton defence, the Korean sent in a cross and Kane, stooping, scored his 101st away Premier League goal. I think we have played a fantastic game and the result is not fair, 100 per cent. For Conte, clearly the plan was to sit deep and break at pace. Richarlison was consigned to the bench, while the former Brighton man Yves Bissouma was brought in to stiffen the midfield. The instruction from Conte was evidently to feed early passes through to Son Heung-min and Harry Kane. As a fine tribute to Ventrone’s conditioning work, Spurs were constantly in Brighton faces, giving their profusion of midfielders no time to dwell on the ball. When he was in charge of Sassuolo and Conte at Inter, they met in four Serie A matches.

After their north London derby mauling, can Tottenham get back on track with a win against Brighton? Join Scott Murray to find out.

I didn’t want to change the first XI because in Liverpool it was a good game, and for the moment I want to continue in this way.” 2 min: Spurs start confidently, and Kane is found just to the left of the Brighton D. Manchester City have gone top, by the way, two points clear of Arsenal after dispatching Southampton 4-0, but our table generator, tasked to concentrate on Spurs and Brighton, doesn’t want to show that. And for this reason we have to cope in the best possible way, and also because I know Gian Piero wanted us to stay strong. Respect and love the top note all around the Amex. Doherty should either shoot or roll across for Sessegnon, in acres on his own in the Brighton box, but hesitates, loses control of his feet, and clumsily toe-pokes out for a goal kick. 7 min: Bentancur rolls a pass down the inside-right channel to release Doherty, who has a yard on Estupinan and strides into the penalty area. Then Son loops the free kick over the wall and down towards the bottom left. The ball comes back to him, and he looks for Sessegnon in the middle, only for his dinked cross to be cleared. but Spurs continue to fly, and Kane romps down the right. 17 min: Mac Allister slips a pass down the inside-right channel for Welbeck, who reaches the edge of the box and takes an early shot. Hojbjerg recycles possession, dinking down the inside-right channel for Son, who checks and curls a shot goalwards.

Spurs put a difficult week behind them by grinding out a win as Antonio Conte paid an emotional tribute to Spurs' late fitness coach who passed away this ...

Ryan Sessegnon – Picked out Doherty with a searching cross and provided plenty of energy on the left flank, particularly in the second half as he drove at Brighton’s defence. Rodrigo Bentancur – Scored his first Spurs goal against Leicester three weeks ago and went close to adding a second with a well-struck effort from distance. Son Heung-min – Drew an early save from Sanchez with a free-kick before setting up Kane’s goal with a pinpoint cross. The wait for a first goal of the season goes on… Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg – Played an important part in the opening goal with a composed lob into Son’s path. Matt Doherty – Started a Premier League game for the first time this season. Danny Welbeck – Had Brighton’s first chance but dragged a shot narrowly wide of the far post when a pass to Trossard was probably the better option. Moises Caicedo – Passed fit to play after missing training due to a knock on Thursday and had Brighton’s first shot on target from long-range. Always showed for the ball, though and will be crucial to De Zerbi 7 Robert Sanchez – Made a routine save to deny Son’s free-kick but a much more difficult one to keep out Bentancur’s effort. Spurs players warmed up in t-shirts with the words “Always in our hearts, Gian Piero” on them and there was a minute’s applause before kick-off, in which Antonio Conte looked visibly emotional. Although it was far from a free-flowing performance, the move just about worked as Spurs held firm in the second half.

Report and free match highlights as Harry Kanes first-half header sent Spurs to victory at the Amex in Roberto De Zerbis first home game in charge; ...

"They appreciated because we are talking about a really big worker for me in my opinion in his job he is a scientist and for him I spoke with him last week on Thursday, the last time when I arrived at training ground he wanted to speak to me and asked me if he could stay at home because he has a bit of a fever. Football is not right and today the result is not good for us. When it happens it is very difficult to cover your feeling with the players and with the people that work in Tottenham. It was one where the fitness built up under Ventrone's watch was used to maximum effect as Spurs battled and ran hard to repel Brighton despite this being their third game in seven days. After the first 15 minutes it was only Brighton. To the backdrop of an empty stadium, the players were undertaking their first post-match fitness duties since the passing of their guru. Up the other end, it was Spurs that carried the greater threat with Kane also firing wide from a decent opening and Son's curling effort from range being chalked off because of a slight offside. "I have to be honest, it was really, really difficult for us to be here and to focus on the game because what happened in the last three days was incredible, was incredible. The switch worked well with Tottenham dangerous in attack and assured at the back. Brighton came to the party after falling behind but never truly managed to open up a Spurs defence led impeccably again by Eric Dier and Cristian Romero. We are going with the staff. And then I am sure Gian Piero will stay with us forever.
