Tottenham Hotspur host Brighton and Hove Albion this evening.

Tottenham will be looking to respond after losing to Manchester City on Saturday, and go with Hugo Lloris in goal against Brighton tonight.

Kieran Trippier, Toby Alderweireld, Jan Vertonghen and Kieran Trippier line up in defence, with Mauricio Pochettino going back to a four-man defence.

Christian Eriksen joins Victor Wanyama in midfield, with Lucas Moura, Dele Alli and Son Heung-min supporting Fernando Llorente in an attack-minded team.

Vincent Janssen is again named on the bench, alongside Paulo Gazzaniga, Juan Foyth, Davinson Sanchez, Ben Davies, Eric Dier and Oliver Skipp.

Meanwhile, Brighton are in desperate need of points, and go with Mat Ryan in goal, against the club he once had a trial with.

Martin Montoya, Shane Duffy, Lewis Dunk and Bernardo line up at the back, with Dale Stephens protecting the back four.

Pascal Gross and Yves Bissouma operate ahead of him with Davy Propper out injured, with Alirezda Jahanbakhsh and Jurgen Locadia supporting Florin Andone in attack.

Glenn Murray is only on the bench, alongside Dan Burn, Leon Balogun, Gaetan Bong, Solly March, Beram Kayal and ex-Tottenham goalkeeper David Button.
