Tottenham Hotspur will lock horns with Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday afternoon, hoping to pick up all three points on their home turf. The Seagulls will be coming into the match on the back of an encouraging 2-1 victory over Arsenal, whereas the Lilywhites recorded an emphatic 4-0 win against Aston Villa on April 9.
Team News
Japhet Tanganga and Matt Doherty are set to be out for the rest of the season, but Oliver Skipp could be back in the squad against Brighton this weekend after missing out on the 4-0 win against Aston Villa due to a groin problem.
Antonio Conte will probably opt for the 4-3-3 formation against the Seagulls; however, he might keep changes to a minimum for the weekend clash.
3-4-3 Tottenham Hotspur Predicted Lineup Vs Brighton
Defence
Hugo Lloris will operate between the sticks for the upcoming fixture. The France shot-stopper would hope to put up a strong performance and secure a clean sheet on Saturday.
Cristian Romero will form the centre-half partnership with Eric Dier and Ben Davies at the heart of Spurs’ backline.
Sergio Reguilon should start at the left-back position, whereas Emerson Royal will fill in on the other flank as the right-back. The full-backs will be expected to stay compact and keep their shape defensively.
Midfield
Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg might start in the holding midfield position and could be assigned with more of a defensive role to shield the home side’s back-four.
Rodrigo Bentancur will slot into the central midfield role, determined to set up some clear-cut goal scoring chances for the front men.
Attack
Son Heung-min and Dejan Kulusevski will take up the wide positions, playing on the left and right-wing, respectively.
Harry Kane will lead the line for Tottenham Hotspur this weekend. The England international will be hoping to get his name on the scoresheet when he faces off against the Brighton defence that has conceded seven goals in their last five Premier League matches.
Lucas Moura could come off the bench to make a cameo appearance in the second forty-five minutes of the match if needed.
