    Saturday 20th September 3pm
    Premier League
    The Amex Stadium​

    Dragusin, Kulusevski and Maddison are all long-term injured.
    Takai and Solanke have returned to individual training but are unlikely to be available.
    Not seen anything about Bissouma, one way or the other.
    Neither side has any suspensions.

    Lineups for each side's last league game:

    Spurs: Vicario; Porro, Romero, van de Ven, Spence; Palhinha, Bentancur; Kudus, Sarr, Simons; Tel.
    Subs: Kinsky, Danso, Davies, Udogie, Bentancur, Johnson, Odobert, Richarlison, Kolo Muani.

    Brighton: Verbruggen; Veltman, van Hecke, Dunk, De Cuyper; Milner, Hinshelwood; Minteh, Rutter, Mitoma; Welbeck.
    Subs: Steele, Kadioglu, Boscagli, Coppola, Baleba, Gruda, Ayari, Watson, Tzimas.

    Ref: Chris Kavanagh. VAR: Neil Davies.

    TV: Not televised in the UK.

    How would you like to line up for this one and how do you think we actually will line up?

    IMHO this fixture is very interesting for judging the manager.
    The last two times Spurs have :

    - lost
    - conceded four
    - scored at least two


    We will see how the end result changes wrt all the above.

    Won't happen but I'd love to see us start using 4231 as a formation. We have the players for it.

    Vicario
    Porro Romero VDV Udogie
    Palhinha Bentancur
    Kudus Bergvall Simons
    RKM

    Surely we’re due something at Brighton? I know we have won there but all I can ever remember is the shocker under poch(?) where Hugo made a mistake and broke his arm at the same time very early on.

    The beginning of the end for Jose with the tepid 1-0.

    Ange conceding I think 8 goals (?) in his two games down there.

    Seems to be when it goes wrong there, it goes very wrong!

    I don’t think they’re as strong this season though with maybe the massive sales not being replaced with similar ‘buy lows’ anymore?

    Solanke won't be available for this one or Doncaster on Wednesday.

    The back four largely pick themselves, and with the relative comfort of the Doncaster game midweek I'd only be inclined to maybe start with Udogie.
    Need strength and energy in MF so based on Bentancurs less than impressive display midweek I'd go with Sarr, Palinha and Bergvall.
    Upfront Xavi definitely needs another outing and I'd start with Kolo Muani I think. Kudus seems more energetic than Johnson so he gets the nod as well.

    PS. I swap keepers as well. Kinsky needs some minutes and I would like to see more pressure on Vicario, who still fails to convince.

    Kudus might need a rest as he was looking a bit leggy Tuesday night, though resting him for the Doncaster and Wolves games seems more logical

    He was reportedly not training with PSG prior to his loan being confirmed

    Likely explains why he was training with the academy players during the international break

    1-0 down already

    Brighton away is becoming a bogey game

    Looked offside to me, but such a shame after a really positive start

    Very, very tight but just on. Shame, started quite brightly.

    Very quick decision. Very close. Surely we've seen us not get the benefit of such close calls?

    Too close to call I guess...We had looked really bright and bar a ridiculous decision to give a foul against Kudus we might already have been ahead.
    Udogie has started brightly, but his commitment forward possibly led to their goal.

    That really was a ridiculous decision for a foul.

    Odobert needs to start doing something. Not been impressed with him at all since he’s been at Spurs. Think an academy kid could have offered the same as he has so far.
