Team News Home
Brighton have a lengthy injury list. Key central midfielder Carlos Baleba is a major doubt with a hamstring issue, and his potential absence would be a significant blow to their build-up play. Winger Kaoru Mitoma remains sidelined with a long-term back injury, depriving them of a key attacker.
Team News Away
Tottenham will be without their captain and spiritual leader, Heung-min Son, who is serving a one-match suspension for yellow card accumulation. This is a massive blow to their attack and leadership. Right-back Pedro Porro is also a doubt after coming off injured in the midweek cup match.
