Tottenham Hotspur will be looking to regain their winning form again as they travel to face a Brighton & Hove Albion who on a losing streak in the Premier League
Spurs are the favourites in this top-tier clash at 13/10 with Betfred while hosts Brighton are 23/10 and a draw is 12/5. The Albion may have won their last two league home matches against Spurs but their form has been woeful of late.
Antonio Conte's would have been left frustrated as his side let a result slip at the end thanks to a Cristiano Ronaldo winner to complete his hat-trick at Old Trafford. A draw would have leapfrogged them above Wolves at least but they now find themselves five points behind Manchester United who sit in 5th in the Premier League.
However, they will be encouraged by the fact they face a Brighton side struggling in front of goal and problems in their defence too. Graham Potter's side have suffered five successive league defeats scoring just once and conceding 11 goals.
It is a far cry from the side that once boasted on the best defences - statistically they still have the sixth best defence with 34 goals but have only kept one clean sheet in 13 matches in all competitions. Although, Brighton are somewhat of a bogey team for Spurs - especially when they play at the Amex Stadium.

Player to watch
Harry Kane is still in great goalscoring form and I was spot on with my prediction when Spurs travelled to Old Trafford last weekend. The striker has now picked up six goals in his last five league matches which is a vast improvement to his five in his first 23 appearances in the Premier League.
H2H
This will be the 24th meeting between the two sides with Spurs picking up 14 wins, four draws and five defeats in all competitions. However, Tottenham have only picked up one league win at the Amex from their visits since Brighton's promotion which includes defeats in their last two visits to Sussex-by-the-sea.
