After their impressive 3-0 victory against Manchester United, Tottenham is looking to continue their winning streak in an away match against Brighton & Hove Albion in the Premier League.
Under the guidance of Ange Postecoglou, Tottenham has transformed from a slow start to a remarkable five-match winning streak across all competitions.
Brighton also secured a victory over United earlier this season, but their recent 4-2 loss at Chelsea highlighted weaknesses in their defense. Postecoglou is likely aware of the critiques directed at Brighton’s coach Fabian Hurzeler, particularly regarding their high-risk defensive strategy.
This match promises to be an exciting encounter, with both teams eager to assert themselves, and both coaches committed to their attacking philosophies.

Brighton vs. Tottenham: Team News and Predicted Line-ups
Hurzeler could have several players returning, including James Milner (thigh), Joel Veltman, Brajan Gruda, and long-term absentee Solly March.
Forward Simon Adingra may also be available, likely coming off the bench, while Joao Pedro (ankle) remains injured, alongside Jan Paul van Hecke and Matt O’Reilly (ankle).
Brighton Predicted XI (4-3-3 from right to left): Verbruggen (GK) — Veltman, Dunk, Igor, Estupinan — Enciso, Baleba, Hinshelwood — Rutter, Welbeck, Mitoma
Injuries: Joao Pedro, O’Riley, Van Hecke, Adingra (doubt), March (doubt), Gruda (doubt), Milner (doubt)
Suspensions: None
Son Heung-min was rested during the 2-1 UEFA Europa League win against Ferencvaros, alongside Destiny Udogie. While Udogie is expected to recover from a thigh issue, Postecoglou indicated that Son might require additional time to heal from hamstring discomfort.
Brennan Johnson has been a standout performer for Tottenham, scoring five times in their last five matches.
Richarlison (calf) and Wilson Odobert (hamstring) continue to be unavailable. With Son likely out, Johnson’s recent form is especially valuable. Dominic Solanke, recalled by England, is set to lead the attack.
Tottenham Predicted XI (4-3-3 from right to left): Vicario (GK) — Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie — Kulusevski, Bentancur, Maddison — Johnson, Solanke, Werner
Injuries: Son (doubt), Richarlison, Odobert
Suspensions: None
