Since Dejan Kulusevski’s first Premier League start for Tottenham Hotspur in February, no player has more Premier League assists than the Swede (six, level with Harry Kane). Kulusevski could become the first player to assist seven goals in his first 10 Premier League starts, with his six currently the joint-most. 

Spurs have won all four of their Premier League home matches against Brighton & Hove Albion – only against AFC Bournemouth (5/5) do they have a better such 100 per cent record in the competition. 

Brighton won 2-1 at Arsenal last week – the only team in Premier League history to win away at both Arsenal and Spurs in consecutive Premier League matches are Hull City in October 2008. 

Each of Brighton's last three Premier League victories have come away from home. Meanwhile, the Seagulls are unbeaten in all five of their league encounters in London this season (W2 D3) – they last remained unbeaten in the capital across a full league campaign in 2016/17, while they have never managed to do so when playing at least five such contests.
