Brighton will resume their push for Europe as they travel to relegation threatened Tottenham on Saturday.

The Seagulls have won five of their last six Premier League matches as they continue their late push for Europe.

Fabian Hurzeler's men are ninth in the table and arrive at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on the back of a solid 2-0 win at Burnley last time out.

Tottenham are in the mire. Their defeat at Sunderland last weekend sees them in the bottom three and they have just six matches to save themselves from relegation.

Former Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi is the new man in the dugout and it will be his debut outing at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Here's how the walking wounded are shaping up for Tottenham and Brighton.

Brighton's outs and doubts

Adam Webster - out: The experienced defender is making progress after his preseason ACL injury but unlikely to feature this term.

Stefanos Tzimas -out: The Greek striker did his ACL in the 4-3 home loss to Aston Villa earlier this season.

Lewis Dunk - out: The Brighton skipper serves the second of his two-match suspension for 10 bookings.

James Milner - doubt: The veteran midfielder was sidelined with the "small issue" and Hurzeler expects to have him back to face Tottenham

Tottenham's outs and doubts

Wilson Odobert - out: The winger remains sidelined with a cruciate ligament in his left knee.

Dejan Kulusevski - out: The winger has been a huge miss for Tottenham this season as he continues his rehabilitation from a knee injury.

James Maddison - out: The England midfielder has missed the entire campaign with a serious knee injury.

Rodrigo Bentancur - out: The Uruguayan midfielder has been struggling with a thigh issue. He missed the Sunderland game and Brighton could arrive too soon.

Ben Davies - out: The experienced defender underwent ankle surgery and is ruled out

Guglielmo Vicario - out: The Italian keeper had a hernia operation and missed the Sunderland match.

Mohammed Kudus - out: Another blow to their creative talents as the winger has struggled with a thigh injury.

Cristian Romero - doubt: The skipper left the pitch in tears at Sunderland having sustained a knee issue. He's a major doubt

Yves Bissouma - doubt: The former Brighton man is currently managing a muscle issue.
