Brighton and Tottenham Hotspur will go head-to-head in the Premier League at the AMEX Stadium on Saturday afternoon as both sides look to claim a victory.

Fabian Hurzeler's side suffered a 2-1 defeat on the road to Bournemouth last time out in a disappointing performance, while Spurs got back to winning ways in the top flight with a 3-0 win over rivals Tottenham, before a midweek victory over Villarreal in the Champions League.

Both teams have some injury concerns to deal with ahead of the game, and this is how they line up.
