Premier League

Saturday’s Premier League action concludes at the Amex Stadium where Brighton and Hove Albion take on Tottenham Hotspur.

The hosts are without a win in their last three league games, though they will be feeling positive after coming from two goals down to salvage a point against south coast rivals Southampton on Monday evening – their second 2-2 draw in succession.

Pascal Gross is once again set to miss out as he struggles to recover from an ankle injury while Joze Iquierdo and Florin Andone are both pushing to start after returning to fitness.

Glenn Murray is widely available at 7.0 (6/1) to open the scoring with Anthony Knockaert a 16.0 (15/1) chance with Bet Victor.

The home win is as highly priced as the 5.0 (4/1) on offer from a variety of firms, with the visitors favourites at 1.78 (7/9) with Unibet, who have the draw at 3.9 (29/10).

Spurs are in the worst run of form in over five-and-half years having lost their last three games in all competitions.

However, victory here could see them move back into the top four depending on results elsewhere ahead of league games against the division’s two favourites for relegation – Huddersfield Town and Cardiff City.

Hugo Lloris remains out, so Michel Vorm will continue to deputise in goal while Toby Alderweireld and Kieran Tripper are set to return to the squad after being rested for Tuesday evening’s Champions League defeat to Inter Milan.

Dele Alli and Moussa Sissoko will both be assessed ahead of kick-off after returning to training after their retrospective hamstring and knee injuries.

Harry Kane hasn’t scored in any of his last five appearances but is favourite to get the first goal of the game here at 3.7 (27/10) with Bet Victor while Christian Eriksen can be backed at 8.5 (15/2).

Last season’s corresponding fixture ended one a piece with a Gross penalty cancelling out Kane’s opener though Spurs had won each of the four meetings prior to that clash.

You can bet on both teams to score this time around at a price of 1.8 (4/5) with Betfair.
