Tottenham XI vs Brighton: Starting lineup, confirmed team news, injury latest for Premier League today

Key man: Mohammed Kudus starts for Tottenham against Brighton - (London Standard)

Tottenham have made three changes for today’s Premier League clash with Brighton, with Xavi Simons among those benched as Destiny Udogie makes his first start of the season.

Spurs, who beat West Ham last weekend and then backed it up by seeing off Villarreal in a 1-0 win to start their Champions League campaign on Tuesday, have a new-look left flank at the Amex Stadium today as Wilson Odobert makes a surprise start ahead of Simons on that wing, with full-back Udogie coming in for Djed Spence.

It means in-form teenager Lucas Bergvall keeps his place, while Richarlison leads the line again in the absence of Randal Kolo Muani - who misses out altogether with a dead leg - and the injured Dominic Solanke.
