Brighton and Hove Albion host Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League in Sunday afternoon’s big match – and it’s one which could be hugely entertaining, given the scoring form of both teams.
The Seagulls are ninth with two wins from six in the top flight, with a total of ten goals scored or conceded in their last two fixtures alone – while Spurs, one place above them, have scored three in each of their last two in the top flight and 12 across the season overall.
Ange Postecoglou’s side were also in midweek action to earn a narrow win in the Europa League with a rotated team, putting Spurs well in contention to get through the league phase already, six points from two games on the board there.
Consistency is the watchword for both teams to aim for this term, and either one are capable on their day of simply outgunning the other with attacking talent.
Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the game.

What is the team news?
The Seagulls still have a lengthy injury list which definitely includes Solly March, Matt O’Riley, James Milner and Jan Paul van Hecke. Joao Pedro remains a doubt, as do Simon Adingra and Joel Veltman. That might see Ferdi Kadioglu stay in the team at right-back and Yankuba Minteh ahead of him on the wing.
Spurs are missing Richarlison and Wilson Odobert, but there are hopes Son Heung-min will be fit. Destiny Udogie needs a fitness test.

BHA – Verbruggen, Kadioglu, Webster, Dunk, Estupinan, Wieffer, Baleba, Minteh, Rutter, Mitoma, Welbeck
TOT – Vicario, Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie, Bentancur, Kulusevski, Maddison, Johnson, Solanke, Son
