Tottenham travel down to the south coast to face Brighton on Sunday, yet the Seagulls could be without as many as eight first-team players due to injury.

The north London side are on a three-game winning run in the Premier League, with Antonio Conte getting his tactics and philosophy instilled into the club after arriving in November,
Yet despite some rough performances, Spurs appear to be getting on the right track. Tottenham breezed past Norwich City 3-0 on Sunday to go fifth in the Premier League table, just two points off West Ham in fourth.
