Team Form Brighton WLLDD Spurs WWLLL ( All competitions)
Brighton have only won one of their last nine games against us in all competitions (W1 D2 L6), a home victory in April 1983. We have only failed to find the net once in our previous 15 matches against Brighton in all competitions, a 1-0 loss at White hart Lane in October 1981. Brighton have lost just one of their last 9 EPL home games (W5, D3) losing 0-2 vs Leicester in March.
After an unbeaten run of 9 EPL away games (W6 D3), we have lost 2 of our last 4 on the road in the top-flight (W2). We are looking to avoid 3 consecutive EPL defeats for the first time since 2012. We have only failed to score in one of our last 16 EPL away games (0-1 vs WBA in May).
After losing their first 3 EPL league games against "big six" opposition by an aggregate score of 1-11, Brighton are unbeaten in four against them, (W3, D1). They have gone 2 down in their last two EPL games but avoided defeat both times. No team has done this in three consecutive games before, with Leicester in September 2015 the last side to do it twice.
Brighton striker Glenn Murray has scored 4 goals in his five EPL games this season, including 3 in 2 at the Amex Stadium. However, he has never scored in 4 EPL appearances against Tottenham.
Harry Kane has scored once in four league appearances against Brighton, though that goal came in this exact fixture last season.
