Match Spurs v Brighton (Away) - Sat 20th September - KO: 3pm

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

A risk not having Sarr in there considering the Brighton midfield is fairly Physical. Rodrigo as an 8 and Lucas at 10 might be nice. Good to see some rotation so no complaints. Odobert looked really sharp in some training videos so let's hope this could be a springboard match for him and get amongst it. Serve it up for Richy and see what he's got. Two strikers coming back, though slowly, from injury so he's got to start firing them in.

Looks like Frank has given up on this Johnson-on-the-left experiment. Good.

Sarr and Bergvall are quite redundant together, so it's good to see only one on the pitch.

Not very optimistic about Richarlison holding his own against Van Hecke and Dunk in terms of keeping the ball. Let's see.

Sarr and Bergvall is a fuck load less redundant than Palinha and Bentancur together. Was really hoping we didn’t see them together again until Anfield or the Emirates

It doesn't.

porro will have real issues with Mitoma and Rutner who will drop deep. Gruda as well is dangerous but in this game the best form of defending would have been to be on the front foot and attack. Bentancur and Palihnha imo were not both needed.

Udogie taking his man on though and being more natural on the left in the attacking sense does give us more balance.

Odobert will stay wide.

It's more balanced on the left.

Missed a trick not playing Spence at RB. Why Xavi's benched for a second man in the pivot is beyond me too, neither Pal or Bents have the pace to keep up with Brighton's threats.

Think this will be a grinder. Pleased to see Odo get a start though.
 
Also, Frank has options to release the handbrake second half.

Its a tough game, he's right to air on the side of caution with that midfield.
