Same old, same old but a Danjuma home debut
Dropping more points against lowly opposition at the start of the week after conceding a last-minute goal away at Everton, Cristian Stellini really needed to change things about in terms of his Tottenham team to take on Brighton just to freshen things up. Having limited options at present with a host of players in the treatment room, the acting head coach was given a boost on the injury front with Richarlison returning to the matchday squad following the calf injury he sustained at Southampton three weeks ago.
The Brazilian was only fit enough to make the substitutes' bench, though, and that meant Stellini plumped for the same XI that started at Everton on Monday evening. Having options in Arnaut Danjuma and Pape Matar Sarr to come in, the duo once again had to bide their time on the bench with the boss deciding against stamping his own mark on the team and making a couple of notable alterations.
