Brighton boss excited to take on Tottenham Hotspur.
Tottenham Hotspur host Brighton and Hove Albion tonight in the Premier League.
Both teams have objectives to play for at this late stage of the season, with Spurs trying to secure a top four place and Brighton battling relegation.
Brighton boss Chris Hughton used to play for Tottenham and he is looking forward to visiting the club’s new stadium.
He told The Echo: “I haven’t been (to the new stadium). Of course, at one stage this looked like it was going to be the first fixture there but because of our exploits in the cup that wasn’t the case.
“I’m looking forward to going there. How much I’ll enjoy it will be down to the performance the team put in but I’m hoping I can enjoy it.”
Spurs will of course be hoping to make Hughton’s visit an unsuccessful one.
Tottenham have a 100 per cent record in three matches at their new stadium and have not conceded a single goal.
After losing narrowly to Manchester City at the weekend, Tottenham need to get back on track and consolidate their efforts to finish in the top four.
If Brighton get a result, then their chances of a repeat visit to Tottenham’s new ground next season will be looking good.
