Albion were beaten in controversial circumstances at Tottenham back in April, as VAR intervened three times to deny Roberto De Zerbi's team. Son Heung-min put his team in front after ten minutes, before Lewis Dunk equalised from Solly March's corner, but Spurs would have the last laugh when Harry Kane netted late to seal a 2-1 win.
Player to watch
Tottenham’s Son Heung-min has been involved in eight goals in his last seven Premier League away games, scoring seven and assisting one. His seven away league goals are more than double any other Tottenham player this season, accounting for 35% of Spurs’ total scored on the road this term (7/20).
Match stats
Albion have lost their last two Premier League home games against Tottenham without scoring; they’d only lost once and scored every time in their first four at the Amex Stadium against them (W2 D1).
Tottenham did the league double over Brighton last season – it’s the fifth time they’ve won consecutive league matches against the Seagulls but have never won three in a row before.
Tottenham have scored in six of their last eight meetings with Brighton in all competitions, with former striker Harry Kane finding the net at least once in each of those games. The last time Spurs netted in a game against the Seagulls without Kane on the scoresheet was a 1-0 win in April 2019 (Christian Eriksen).
Brighton haven’t won their final league game in any of the last three calendar years, losing to Arsenal at home in both 2020 and 2022, and at Chelsea in 2021.
Brighton are unbeaten in their last seven Premier League home games (W3 D4), since a 3-1 loss to West Ham in August. Indeed, three of the Seagulls’ last four home league defeats have come against London sides (Arsenal, Fulham, West Ham).
Albion have scored in each of their last 17 Premier League home games since a 1-0 loss against Fulham in February. However, they’ve also conceded in each of their last 12 at the Amex Stadium since beating Manchester United 1-0 in May.
After a seven-game winless run away from home between February and May (D2 L5), Spurs have lost just one of their last ten on the road in the Premier League (W6 D3), going down 2-1 at Wolves last month.
Tottenham have only failed to score in one of their 20 Premier League away games in 2023, finding the net in each of their last 15 on the road since a 1-0 defeat at Wolves in March.
Pascal Gross has been involved in more home goals than any other Brighton player in all competitions this season (6 – 2 goals, 4 assists). He’s had a hand in five in his last five at the Amex Stadium (1 goal, 4 assists), providing an assist in each of his last three.
