Tottenham Hotspur will return to Premier League action after an embarrassing 7-2 loss to Bayern Munich in the Champions League this past mid-week.
Spurs face off against Brighton at the Amex Stadium on Saturday, and could go up to third in the Premier League table if they win and other results go their way.
Manager Mauricio Pochettino could possibly make quite a few changes to the side that lost to Bayern Munich. Spurs have won their last two encounters with Brighton, winning the away tie 2-1, and the home game 1-0.
Tottenham Hotspur Team News
Giovani Lo Celso and Ryan Sessegnon could be unavailable due to injuries, while Serge Aurier is suspended after picking up a red card against Southampton last weekend.
Let’s take a look at how Tottenham Hotspur might line up:
Predicted Tottenham Hotspur Lineup vs Brighton
Goalkeeper
Captain Hugo Lloris will start in goal for Spurs, despite letting in seven goals in mid-week.
Defence
Right-back Serge Aurier will be suspended for the game against Brighton, so 22-year-old Kyle Walker-Peters will take his place in the Tottenham Hotspur lineup.
Jan Vertonghen could be replaced for the game against Brighton after his poor display against Bayern. Davinson Sánchez could start at the back alongside Toby Alderweireld.
At left-back, Danny Rose may also get a break, with Ben Davies coming in place of the Englishman.
Midfield
Harry Winks also had a poor game against Bayern, and he could make way for Eric Dier in the Tottenham Hotspur lineup.
Dier is yet to start a game in the Premier League this season. Tanguy Ndombélé, who was very good for Spurs last weekend against Southampton, will start in midfield, while we could also see the return of Christian Eriksen to the Tottenham Hotspur lineup.
Eriksen started the game against the Saints last weekend, but was a substitute for the Bayern Munich game.
Attack
Harry Kane scored a penalty in the drubbing against Bayern Munich, as well as last weekend against Southampton. Kane has scored 7 goals in 9 appearances in all competitions this season, and will start in attack against Brighton.
Son Heung-min had a decent game against Bayern Munich, and was one of the few Spurs players who put on a decent performance. He will start alongside Kane in attack, while we could also see Erik Lamela return to the starting XI. Lamela has 2 goals in 7 appearances in the league this season.
