Tottenham predicted lineup vs Brighton - Premier League
Tottenham's flailing Champions League push continues on Saturday when they host high-flying Brighton in north London.
Spurs lost their grip on fourth place in the Premier League in midweek after drawing at Everton, with both Newcastle and Manchester United picking up wins on Wednesday.
Here they face a Brighton side who have reached the semi finals of the FA Cup, sit sixth in the league and drawn a great amount of praise from pundits and fans alike under the guidance of manager Roberto De Zerbi.
Tottenham predicted lineup vs Everton (3-4-3)
GK: Hugo Lloris - Returned from a knee injury against Everton and will continue in goal for the remainder of the campaign.
CB: Cristian Romero - Has been pretty good since the World Cup, though has received six yellow cards and two red cards in that time.
CB: Eric Dier - Needs a strong performance against exciting Brighton youngster Evan Ferguson if Spurs are to squeeze out a win here.
CB: Clement Lenglet - Ben Davies' absence makes the left centre back spot Lenglet's, though his performances on loan from Barcelona haven't been ground-shifting.

RWB: Pedro Porro - Has added a healthy amount of attacking threat to Spurs out wide but a bit sieve-like in defence.
CM: Oliver Skipp - Not overly noticeable at Everton when Spurs could have sured up the result but fell to a late Michael Keane stunner.
CM: Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg - Might be a little too slow to hound Moises Caicedo and Alexis Mac Allister all game, so Hojbjerg will need to figure out another way to be effective on Saturday.
LWB: Ivan Perisic - Has looked pretty leggy in recent weeks, with no natural alternative to turn to at left wing back with Ryan Sessegnon injured.
RF: Dejan Kulusevski - Another player who has looked off-colour in recent months. His driving runs and ingenuity on the ball have been sorely missed.
ST: Harry Kane - Netted his 22nd league goal of the season on Monday night. Still six behind Golden Boot leader Erling Haaland.
LF: Son Heung-min - Richarlison could come in for the ineffective South Korean if fit, but if not Son will retain his place.
