Brighton & Hove Albion are looking for their first home win of the season as they attempt to stay outside the relegation zone.

Sixth-placed Tottenham Hotspur are targeting their first away win.

Team news

Graham Potter welcomes back Solly March, Alireza Jahanbakhsh and Leon Balogun to his squad for the weekend. 

Davy Propper (hamstring) will be monitored but Shane Duffy (calf) remains out. The match also comes too soon for Bernardo (knee) and Leandro Trossard (groin).

Spurs are without right-back Serge Aurier, who is suspended after being sent off in last weekend's match against Southampton.

Giovani Lo Celso (hip) and Ryan Sessegnon (hamstring) remain sidelined, but are entering the late stages of rehabilitation following their respective injuries.

Did you know?

Brighton are seeking their first win in nine Premier League home matches, while Spurs are aiming for their first win in 10 PL away matches.

Spurs’ last nine PL goals have come in the first half, with their last second-half strike coming against Manchester City in their second match of the season.

The Seagulls are also targeting their first PL victory over Spurs at the fifth attempt (D1 L3).

Spurs have never been behind in their four PL matches against Brighton. The two goals they have conceded against the Seagulls both came when they were leading.
