Tottenham go with Hugo Lloris in goal as they host Brighton and Hove Albion this afternoon.

It’s a familiar back three in front of Lloris as Cristian Romero, Eric Dier and Ben Davies all start in defence.

Emerson Royal is the right wing back today as Matt Doherty seemingly won’t play again this season.

Sergio Reguilon is at left wing back with Rodrigo Bentancur and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg in central midfield.

Tottenham go with their exciting front three once again as Dejan Kulusevski, Son Heung-min and Harry Kane all feature.

Youngster Marcel Lavinier is the surprise name on the Tottenham bench today, joining Pierluigi Gollini, Ryan Sessegnon, Joe Rodon, Davinson Sanchez, Harvey White, Harry Winks, Steven Bergwijn and Lucas Moura.

Graham Potter has named 11 players but who knows how on earth they will line up; he loves to spring a surprise and play as many midfielders as possible.

The best guess we can make is that Robert Sanchez will be in goal behind a back four today – despite a back three at Arsenal last week.

Tariq Lamptey comes into the side and seemingly plays at right back with Joel Veltman, Lewis Dunk and Marc Cucurella making up the rest of the back four.

It could then be a midfield three of Pascal Gross, Yves Bissouma and Moises Caicedo, with Enock Mwepu up the right flank.

Alexis Mac Allister would then be able to play in from the left, with Leandro Trossard something of a false nine today.

Former Arsenal striker Danny Welbeck makes the bench, joining Jason Steele, Adam Webster, Neal Maupay, Adam Lallana, Solly March, Odel Offiah, Evan Ferguson and Jeremy Sarmiento.
