Preview

Brighton’s visit to Tottenham could be an interesting tactical battle, particularly as both teams tend to utilise wing-backs in attacking areas.

With Matt Doherty out for the season, Sergio Reguilon is likely to return to the left wing back role and his attacking production has increased dramatically since the hiring of Antonio Conte.

Reguilon didn’t have a single shot on target before the Italian took charge but his preference for attacking wing backs has really brought the Spaniard's attacking talents to the fore.

The 28-year-old has nine shots on target in his last ten games, including two when Spurs played Brighton a month ago.

As a result it is a surprise to see 14-5 offered about Reguilon to have a shot on target in this return clash.

Brentford’s improvement in recent weeks has been in large parts down to Christian Eriksen and Ivan Toney but Bryan Mbeumo’s contributions have gone under the radar. The Frenchman has four assists and a goal in his last three games and could be overpriced to repeat the trick against a struggling Watford side.

Mbeumo has also underperformed his expected-goals figure by the most of any player in the Premier League, with 8.1 xG producing just four goals. If he can improve his finishing he will get on the scoresheet more often.

The forward is a tempting 9-4 to claim either an assist or goal against the Hornets.

Mohammed Salisu has picked up ten yellow cards in the league this season and the centre-half may struggle against the vibrant young attacking players on show for Arsenal including Bukayo Saka, Emile Smith Rowe and Gabriel Martinelli.

Given Salisu’s poor disciplinary record, 10-3 for him to see another card looks generous - he is as short as 13-8 elsewhere.
