Brighton and Tottenham meet in a clash of two sides whose starts to the season have gone in different directions.
While Brighton won their first two games, and were unbeaten in their first five games, Spurs won just one of their first four games.
However, their fortunes have since reversed. Brighton suffered their first loss of the Premier League season last weekend at Chelsea, who ran riot against their haphazard defensive set-up, and are suddenly four games without a win.
Spurs, on the other hand, have been in brilliant form since their derby day defeat to Arsenal, winning their last five games in all competitions.
Both sides love to attack, and are questionable defensively, which should make a great game for the neutral.

Brighton vs Tottenham team news
Tottenham appear likely to be without Heung-min Son, who has missed the last two matches with a hamstring injury.
Destiny Udogie came off at Old Trafford last weekend, though is not believed to have suffered a serious issue and could feature against Brighton, but Richarlison and Wilson Odobert remain out.
Brighton are currently dealing with a significant injury list, with Jan Paul van Hecke the latest addition to the treatment room.
Fabian Hurzeler has also been without Joao Pedro, Simon Adingra, James Milner, Solly March and Matty O’Riley.
One boost is the return of Joel Veltman, who missed the loss at Chelsea through illness.

Brighton vs Tottenham prediction
Spurs come into the game in much better form, but Brighton are known to raise their game for clashes with the bigger sides and won the last season’s equivalent fixture 4-2.
With both sides adopting very high lines, expect plenty of goals from what should be a hugely entertaining game.
