Tottenham Hotspur are going through a rough patch right now, losing two English Premier League games in a row, before also going down 2-1 after a late rally from Inter Milan in the Uefa Champions League on Tuesday evening.

Mauricio Pochettino was in a tetchy mood after the Inter game, launching a staunch defence of his squad after he left Toby Alderweireld and Kieran Trippier out completely for the trip to Milan.

Brighton have had a mixed start to the new season, winning just one of five league games, but that victory was at home to Manchester United, and they are yet to lose at the Amex Stadium.

I suspect, however, that Spurs will get the better of the Seagulls. Tottenham have won two out of three away games in the Premier League so far, though they did draw with Brighton 1-1 in this corresponding fixture last season.
