TOTTENHAM PREVIEW: BRIGHTON (A)

Tottenham travel down to the South Coast on Saturday evening as they prepare to face Brighton and try to rekindle the form they showed at the start of the season...

Spurs fans will no doubt still be disappointed from the events that happened in midweek - where they went 1-0 up to Inter Milan in their opening Champions League match but ended up losing 2-1 in the final stages of the game.

They visit the Amex Stadium, where Brighton have already upset the odds this season, as they beat Manchester United earlier on in the campaign.

POCHETTINO'S COMMENTS:

Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino has demanded his Spurs players to work harder on Saturday evening to try and get back on track in the Premier League.

"With different types of player, different names, we have suffered the same situation," the Argentinian said.

"If I am supposed to mark someone and he touches the ball, then it's a dishonour for me, an insult - that's how you need to feel. If you don't feel that, then it's difficult.

"If you watch (recent games), you will find more answers. You need to have that bravery or desire to fight with someone because it's about a fight at a corner.

"It's a tactical question. It's about who is stronger - you or me?"

Spurs have now lost their last three games in all competitions, triggered with Watford beating them 2-1 before the latest international break.

TEAM NEWS:

Tottenham will assess Dele Alli and Moussa Sissoko, who are both back in full-training following the injuries that kept them out of last weekend's defeat to Liverpool.

Hugo Lloris, though, is still out for the visitors, meaning Michel Vorm will remain in goal for Spurs.

Toby Alderweireld and Kieran Trippier were both rested in the midweek loss to Inter, but are set to return to the squad for the trip down South.

BETTING ODDS/PREDICTION:

Tottenham go into the match as favourites and are 3/4 on with Bet 365, whilst the hosts stand an outside chance at 4/1.

Despite Tottenham's poor recent form, I believe they will have too much for an impressive Brighton side - 2-1 Spurs with Harry Kane to get on the scoresheet.
