Tottenham vs Brighton score prediction
Tottenham have failed to find a ruthless edge in recent draws with Southampton and Everton, seeing them fall off the pace in the top four race after Manchester United and Newcastle both won in midweek.
The Seagulls, conversely, have enjoyed a seven-match run without defeat which has seen them reach the FA Cup semi-finals and move up to sixth in the Premier League.
Brighton won this fixture last season with a late Leandro Trossard strike and their positive form could power them to another win in N17 here.
Prediction: Tottenham 1-2 Brighton
