Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler aims to bounce back against Tottenham after the 4-2 defeat to Chelsea last week.

Brighton had gone seven games unbeaten since Hurzeler took charge, leading to the 31-year-old winning the Premier League Manager of the Month award in August.
Brighton have been hit hard with injury troubles already this season, losing key players such as Joao Pedro, Jan Paul van Hecke and Matt O’Riley.
However, we could see the return of Solly March and £25 million signing Brajan Gruda. He said: “Brajan Gruda, Solly March, they trained very good this week. They might be an option.”
In terms of Tottenham’s squad updates, Ange Postecoglu confirms Destiny Udogie “will be okay” to play but Heung Min Son is “unlikely”.
Spurs have had a mixed record against Brighton in recent years, including their last five meetings, they’ve won three and lost two. At the Amex last season, Brighton won 4-2.
Tottenham are on a five game unbeaten run but can they make it six? Brighton on the other hand look to get back to winning ways.

Postecoglu sung his praises in the press conference, he said: “He has been brilliant… in that central role. When we started using him inside, it unshackled him.”
