Brighton and Hove Albion meet Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League this evening as the busy festive period continues.

The Seagulls drew at Crystal Palace last week and will now be looking for a home win tonight.

Jason Steele starts in goal this evening with Lewis Dunk and Jan-Paul van Hecke as the centre backs ahead of him.

Jack Hinshelwood and Igor Julio are the full backs with Billy Gilmour and James Milner in front of the defence.

Facundo Buonanotte, Pascal Gross and Joao Pedro all start and will support Danny Welbeck in the final third.

Evan Ferguson is only on the bench for Brighton, joining Bart Verbruggen, Mahmoud Dahoud, Adam Lallana, Jakub Moder, Carlos Baleba, Pervis Estupinan, Benicio Baker-Boaitey and Luca Barrington.

Tottenham go with Guglielmo Vicario between the sticks, behind a makeshift centre back pairing of Emerson Royal and Ben Davies.

Royal is the man selected to replace the injured Cristian Romero as Tottenham’s right-sided centre back.

Pedro Porro and Destiny Udogie are the full backs tonight with Pierre-Emile Højbjerg and Pape Matar Sarr joining forces in midfield.

Dejan Kulusevski will play as the number 10 with Brennan Johnson and Son Heung-min on the flanks.

Richarlison leads the line for Tottenham as he looks to keep up his decent run of form.

Yago Santiago makes the Tottenham bench tonight, joining Fraser Forster, Eric Dier, Alfie Dorrington, Ashley Phillips, Giovani Lo Celso, Bryan Gil, Jamie Donley and Alejo Veliz.
