Tottenham Hotspur will lock horns with Brighton and Hove Albion at the American Express Community Stadium this Saturday evening as they try to earn a victory on the road in Premier League football. Spurs were held to a 1-1 draw away at Eintracht Frankfurt in midweek, so they would be eager to be put in a more productive display this weekend.
Antonio Conte will set his side up in a 3-4-3 formation and could keep changes to a minimum for this game. The Tottenham boss is expected to keep changes to a minimum for this clash on their travels. Hence, we can once again expect to see Harry Kane spearhead Conte’s attack on the attacking third of the pitch.
3-4-3 Tottenham Hotspur Predicted Lineup To Face Brighton
Defence
Hugo Lloris will operate in goal for the North London club after he kept a clean sheet in his last appearance. Conte will opt for a back three of Clement Lenglet, Eric Dier and Cristian Romero as they try to keep the Brighton attackers frustrated during the 90 minutes.
Ben Davies will provide cover for the centre-back positions on Conte’s bench.
Midfield
Pierre-Emile Højbjerg and Rodrigo Bentancur will anchor the midfield with conviction and make life difficult for the opposition at the centre of the park.
Ivan Perisic will function the left-sided wide player while Matt Doherty hopes to give a good account of himself as the right wing-back. Both of them need to make some overlapping runs out on the flanks.
Ryan Sessegnon, Pape Matar Sarr, Yves Bissouma and Oliver Skipp will have to settle for a spot on the bench as they await their chance to influence the game in the second 45 minutes if required.
Emerson Royal is suspended for this game while Dejan Kulusevski is a major doubt as he continues to recover from his injury.
Attack
Heung-min Son and Richarlison will function as the free-flowing attacking midfielders as they try to create a handful of promising chances in and around the Brighton penalty box. Both of them failed to register a goal in midweek, so they will have to be more decisive in front of the opponent’s goal if Tottenham are to come out on top this Saturday evening.
Harry Kane will lead the line for Spurs up top. The English centre-forward has to figure out a way to cause a few problems for the Brighton centre-backs during the 90 minutes.
