Goal Scorer:
Brighton
Brighton have a number of injury problems heading into this game. They will be without the services of Ansu Fati, Pervis Estupinan and Tariq Lamptey because of thigh injuries. Julio Enciso, Solly March and Joel Veltman are ruled out with knee issues. Adam Webster is set to miss out as well.
Brighton will start in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Bart Verbruggen in goal. Jack Hinshelwood and Igor Julio are likely to be deployed as the full-backs. They will help out in the attack and protect the central defenders. Jan Paul van Hecke and Lewis Dunk will form the central defensive pairing.
Billy Gilmour and Carlos Baleba will start in the midfield pivot, and they will look to break up opposition attacks and protect the defensive unit. Simon Adingra and Joao Pedro will add pace and flair from the wide areas, and they will look to fit Spurs on the counter. Pascal Gross will start as the central attacking midfielder, behind Danny Welbeck in the attack.
Probable Lineup (4-2-3-1): Verbruggen; Hinshelwood, Van Hecke, Dunk, Igor; Gilmour, Baleba; Adingra, Gross, Pedro; Welbeck
Tottenham
Ivan Perisic has been ruled out for the season, and he will miss out. James Maddison will return from his ankle injury next month. Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven are sidelined with thigh injuries.
Rodrigo Bentancur misses out with an ankle injury, while Manor Solomon has a knee injury and Yves Bissouma is suspended. Tottenham will shape up in a 4-2-3-1 system against Brighton, with Guglielmo Vicario in goal.
Pedro Porro and Destiny Udogie are nailed on to start as the full-backs, and they will look to contribute at both ends of the pitch. Emerson Royal and Ben Davies should start at the heart of the defence in the absence of a specialist central defender.
Pape Matar Sarr and Giovani Lo Celso will operate in the midfield pivot, and the two players will look to add creativity and control to the side. Brennan Johnson and Son Heung-min will start as the wingers here and they will look to add pace, flair and goals to the Spurs attack. Finally, Richarlison will lead the line with Dejan Kulusevski behind him in the hole.
Probable Lineup (4-2-3-1): Vicario; Porro, Royal, Davies, Udogie; Lo Celso, Sarr; Johnson, Kulusevski, Son; Richarlison
Prediction: Brighton & Hove Albion 1-1 Tottenham Hotspur
