Brighton vs Tottenham

Tottenham manager, Antonio Conte will be charging his boys to go all the way to secure three points when they face Brighton and Hove Albion in Saturday's ...

This is not to be put beyond them as Tottenham, on the other hand, have won just one of their four top-flight fixtures on their travels. Antonio Conte’s side have only won one of their last four games in all competitions, though, and they suffered a 3-1 defeat to Arsenal in the North London derby last weekend; Harry Kane’s penalty levelled the scores in the 31st minute, but the Gunners scored twice more through Gabriel Jesus and Granit Xhaka. Coming into the encounter, Brighton have actually won two of their last three Premier League games against Spurs, including a 1-0 victory at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium back in April, but the North London club recorded a 2-0 win in the corresponding game between the two sides last term.

[Spurs](/topic/spurs) this evening are looking to shake off two hugely frustrating results with a convincing win on the south coast. “Also because no one expected this situation. Ben Davies, Ryan Sessegnon and Matt Doherty also come in. The hosts are unchanged this evening.

Overall, Bissouma has played just 160 minutes in eight appearances, and been handed just one start – away to West Ham United when Bentancur was unavailable.

After all, in the last two seasons he was unquestionably one of the best players outside of the so-called ‘big six’. Conte said last month that he is “struggling a bit with the tactical aspect” and “defensively has to pay more attention”, and the Italian’s insistence on picking Rodrigo Bentancur and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg instead is obvious proof that he does not believe Bissouma to be ready. Kane pushes Webster aside and takes a shot on, edge of the box. The Brighton captain was obliged to do the same moments later, when Kane sent his partner away to chase a fine through ball. It was a bit of a scrappy goal. His astute chip back to Son bypassed the Brighton defence, the Korean sent in a cross and Kane, stooping, scored his 101st away Premier League goal. I think we have played a fantastic game and the result is not fair, 100 per cent. For Conte, clearly the plan was to sit deep and break at pace. Richarlison was consigned to the bench, while the former Brighton man Yves Bissouma was brought in to stiffen the midfield. The instruction from Conte was evidently to feed early passes through to Son Heung-min and Harry Kane. As a fine tribute to Ventrone’s conditioning work, Spurs were constantly in Brighton faces, giving their profusion of midfielders no time to dwell on the ball. When he was in charge of Sassuolo and Conte at Inter, they met in four Serie A matches.

Brighton vs Tottenham is an early-season test of credentials as the hosts look to show their top-four quality is on the level of their third-place visitors.

1 and continues to play with a confidence of a team on the rise. Excellent way for Pulisic to score his first goal of the season. There’s been little waste from the Magpies in recent weeks and their supporters will be forgiven for believing there’s a strong chance their side can leap into the Top Six ahead of schedule. Wolves in a world of trouble: They were okay for part of the parts half and they missed a few chances as crosses into the box caused problems. Wesley Fofana suffered an injury against AC Milan and after leaving the stadium on crutches and is out for a few weeks. Chelsea travel to AC Milan on Tuesday in the UEFA Champions League group stage, then travel to Aston Villa on Sunday, Oct. He went from the 4-3-3 system to a 3-4-2-1 as Cancelo played as a left wing-back and dominated the game. Hasenhuttl has brought in Salisu, Perraud, Diallo and Adam Armstrong to the starting lineup as it looks like he’s done back to his preferred 4-2-2-2 formation. They’re hungry to win the ball back, have quality on it when they do and they have so many players in form and flying. For Southampton, well, they have the youngest squad in the Premier League and it’s showing. That move to a three-man central defense gave City the extra man further up the pitch and they took full advantage of it. Alexis Mac Allister has been solid in the midfield and at the penalty spot.

I didn’t want to change the first XI because in Liverpool it was a good game, and for the moment I want to continue in this way.” 2 min: Spurs start confidently, and Kane is found just to the left of the Brighton D. Manchester City have gone top, by the way, two points clear of Arsenal after dispatching Southampton 4-0, but our table generator, tasked to concentrate on Spurs and Brighton, doesn’t want to show that. And for this reason we have to cope in the best possible way, and also because I know Gian Piero wanted us to stay strong. Respect and love the top note all around the Amex. Doherty should either shoot or roll across for Sessegnon, in acres on his own in the Brighton box, but hesitates, loses control of his feet, and clumsily toe-pokes out for a goal kick. 7 min: Bentancur rolls a pass down the inside-right channel to release Doherty, who has a yard on Estupinan and strides into the penalty area. Then Son loops the free kick over the wall and down towards the bottom left. The ball comes back to him, and he looks for Sessegnon in the middle, only for his dinked cross to be cleared. but Spurs continue to fly, and Kane romps down the right. 17 min: Mac Allister slips a pass down the inside-right channel for Welbeck, who reaches the edge of the box and takes an early shot. Hojbjerg recycles possession, dinking down the inside-right channel for Son, who checks and curls a shot goalwards.

Spurs put a difficult week behind them by grinding out a win as Antonio Conte paid an emotional tribute to Spurs' late fitness coach who passed away this ...

Ryan Sessegnon – Picked out Doherty with a searching cross and provided plenty of energy on the left flank, particularly in the second half as he drove at Brighton’s defence. Rodrigo Bentancur – Scored his first Spurs goal against Leicester three weeks ago and went close to adding a second with a well-struck effort from distance. Son Heung-min – Drew an early save from Sanchez with a free-kick before setting up Kane’s goal with a pinpoint cross. The wait for a first goal of the season goes on… Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg – Played an important part in the opening goal with a composed lob into Son’s path. Matt Doherty – Started a Premier League game for the first time this season. Danny Welbeck – Had Brighton’s first chance but dragged a shot narrowly wide of the far post when a pass to Trossard was probably the better option. Moises Caicedo – Passed fit to play after missing training due to a knock on Thursday and had Brighton’s first shot on target from long-range. Always showed for the ball, though and will be crucial to De Zerbi 7 Robert Sanchez – Made a routine save to deny Son’s free-kick but a much more difficult one to keep out Bentancur’s effort. Spurs players warmed up in t-shirts with the words “Always in our hearts, Gian Piero” on them and there was a minute’s applause before kick-off, in which Antonio Conte looked visibly emotional. Although it was far from a free-flowing performance, the move just about worked as Spurs held firm in the second half.
