James Maddison closing in on return as Spurs

 

 

A trip to The Amex is tough though, and despite their inconsistent form, Robert De Zerbi’s side remain a dangerous team to come up against.

After making their best start ever to a Premier League season, Tottenham seemed to have quickly moved on from Harry Kane.

However, in more recent weeks, his absence has been felt and a clash with Brighton represents a new challenge without their all-time top goalscorer.

Spurs have scored in six of their last eight meetings with the Seagulls in all competitions.

And Kane has scored at least once in every one of those games.

The last time they found the back of the net against Brighton without the England captain in the team was over four years ago in a 1-0 win in April 2019.

So all eyes will be on Richarlison and Dejan Kulusevski to try and fill the void left by one of the best strikers in world football.
