Tottenham Hotspur travel to take on Brighton and Hove Albion this evening.

Hosts Brighton head into the game having come from 2-0 down to draw 2-2 in their last two games, including the Monday night trip to Southampton.

Chris Hughton will hope for a more solid showing against his former club Tottenham tonight, though he has named a familiar back line again.

Mat Ryan starts in goal, with Martin Montoya, Lewis Dunk, Shane Duffy and Gaetan Bong lining up in defence ahead of the Australian.

Dale Stephens partners Davy Propper in midfield, with Solly March, Yves Bissouma and Anthony Knockaert supporting lone striker Glenn Murray.

Summer signing Alireza Jahanbakhsh is on the bench yet again, alongside David Button, Bernardo, Leon Balogun, Beram Kayal, Jurgen Locadia and Florin Andone.

Meanwhile, Tottenham come into the game having lost their last three games 2-1, with Mauricio Pochettino losing three games in a row for the first time as Spurs boss.

There is one major shock in his team, as Paulo Gazzaniga starts with Michel Vorm out, as the Argentinian makes just a second appearance for Spurs having been signed by Pochettino in the summer of 2017.

Kieran Trippier, Toby Alderweireld, Jan Vertonghen and Danny Rose make up the back four, with Eric Dier and Mousa Dembele ahead of them.

Son Heung-min starts out wide, and joins Christian Eriksen and Lucas Moura in supporting lone striker Harry Kane.

Dele Alli is fit for the bench, alongside Alfie Whiteman, Davinson Sanchez, Serge Aurier, Harry Winks, Victor Wanyama and Erik Lamela.
