Tottenham head into this Premier League clash in crisis after a damaging run of form that has left them slipping dangerously close to the relegation fight.
As SoftFootball reported, Spurs were already rocked by a shocking 3-0 home defeat to Nottingham Forest, and things got worse after another disappointing performance at the Stadium of Light.
Brighton, meanwhile, arrive full of confidence after a strong 2-0 win over Burnley, continuing their push for European qualification.

Spurs’ struggles under De Zerbi have been brutal, with just one win in 14 league games and a growing injury list making things even worse.
The absence of key players like Cristian Romero, James Maddison and others has left the squad stretched, while their home form remains the worst in the league. Spur has taken to their x handle to post clips of their training ahead of the match.
