England – Premier League | Brighton VS Tottenham; Friday, 29 December at 03:30 GMT +8

Brighton & Hove Albion and Tottenham are set to face off in the English top flight, with Brighton & Hove Albion having a strong start to the 2023-24 season, but their form has waned, particularly in the league. Despite finishing top of their Europa League group stage, they are currently ninth in the Premier League and have only one win in their last five league encounters.

Tottenham, led by Ange Postecoglou, started the season on a high, winning eight of their first ten league games. However, injuries hindered their progress. Postecoglou’s new formula has been successful, with three wins in their last three games, resulting in an aggregate score of 8:2.

Kaoru Mitoma, a Japan winger, suffered an ankle injury in a draw against Crystal Palace, joining a lengthy injury list at Brighton, which includes Julio Enciso, Ansu Fati, Solly March, Pervis Estupiñán, Adam Webster, Tariq Lamptey, and Joël Veltman.

Tottenham Hotspur will be without Yves Bissouma due to a red card against Nottingham Forest. Other absentees include Ryan Sessegnon, Alfie Whiteman, Ivan Perisic, Manor Solomon, Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven, and Rodrigo Bentancur. Richarlison, who has scored four goals in his last three games, is expected to lead the line alongside Son and Brennan Johnson, while Dejan Kulusevski will retain his number 10 role.

Goalkeeper: Bart Verbruggen
