Tottenham v Brighton predictions

A late Michael Keane equaliser for Everton on Monday further dampened the mood surrounding the Tottenham camp, which could hardly be in starker contrast to their opponents today, Brighton.

The Seagulls have lost just one of their last 15 matches in all competitions and have won ten of those.

Roberto De Zerbi’s side are now just four points behind Spurs with two games in hand with the north London club winning just one of their last six matches in all competitions.

Under the Italian, Brighton have become one of the highest-scoring sides in the division, hitting 17 goals in their last six games and 12 of their league games this season have produced three or more goals.

Two of Spurs’ last three matches have also featured four goals or more and this could be a high-scoring affair between two sides chasing European football.  

Key stat

Tottenham have gone 24 league games at home without a draw
