Brighton v Tottenham: match preview

Brighton v Tottenham: Probable starters in bold, contenders in light. Photograph: The Guardian

Two teams in troubling form meet in Saturday’s early kick-off. Brighton have not won in the league since the impressive opening-day win at Watford, picking up three draws and scoring two goals since. They might be more exciting to watch under Graham Potter, but need at least a point to ease creeping doubts. With Solly March back from injury they must be hoping Spurs’ torrid week will get even worse after the hammering at home to Bayern Munich. Stephanie Fincham
