Brighton v Tottenham: match preview

Brighton v Tottenham
Brighton v Tottenham: probable starters in bold, contenders in light Illustration: x

Brighton will be relieved Harry Kane is unavailable after injuring both ankles in Tottenham’s defeat against Liverpool. Kane has not only provided 12 goals but has also been a driving creative force for José Mournho. The striker has the most assists in the league with 11. How Mourinho schemes to beat Brighton without his talisman will be interesting to see. A dream scenario for Graham Potter’s side would be snatching an early goal to dent Tottenham’s confidence even further. Heads will be harder to lift without Kane’s presence. Graham Searles
