Brighton vs Tottenham – Premier League LIVE: Latest score and goal updates from the Amex

Tottenham head to the south coast to face Brighton in desperate need of a positive result following three straight defeats. 

Mauricio Pochettino has been reaching for the positives this week but knows only points will silence those questioning his methods. 

For Brighton this is something of a free hit and after beating Manchester United at home last month, Chris Hughton will be hopeful his side can repeat the trick.

Our own Jack Pitt-Brooke gives his verdict on the game: 
 
"There is a bit more room now that Spurs are ahead with Brighton starting to push up the pitch. But that conviction and confidence to play the right final pass is still lacking as Spurs push for a second. I do think there will be more goals though because Brighton have no option but to increase the tempo."
