Tottenham will play against Brighton away tomorrow in 17:30 CET. This is going to be uneasy encounter with team who trashed us last year with 4:2 after taking 4:0 lead thanks to fact we gave away 2 penalties and one great shot by Estupinan.
Spurs are coming to this match in very good form after 5 wins in a row and 4 of them after very good performance and Johnson's 5 goals in 5 games. According to Angelos Postecoglou Richarlison, Son and Odobert are not available for this match, while Udogie "should be ok". This probably mean we are gong to see this lineup: Vicario, Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie, Bentancur, Kulusevski, Maddison, Johnson, Solanke, Werner. Only dilemma is Werner or Moore on left wing and I have no doubt Ange will start Timo Werner again! Ange thinks he's contributing and play good and entering good into positions, but just have no luck to score. I don't agree on that because it's not just he's missing big chances any other average player would score, but it's way how he miss. His shoots are straight into goalkeeper who doesn't need to do anything to stop his effort. Against Ferencvaros he tried to go around and went into dead angle and hit wrong part of the net! It looks like lack of basic skill in finishing! He need to do extra training in finishing hopefully with some skillful ex striker like Teddy Sheringham who can show him some tricks!
Home side also have some injury problems, but most dangerous players like Mitoma, Baleba and Estupinan are ready. Brighton is playing with high line like Tottenham. They lost last match against Chelsea with 4:2 in match where Palmer destroyed them with his passing skill.
It will be interesting to see how congested midfield will look like with two teams both playing high line. My level of confidence after 5 wins is very high and I expect the most from Tottenham midfield. Bentancur, Kulusevski and Maddison should boss this game of football! If we do nice forward press and start to take balls from them in dangerous areas we should win this one! Of course we must refrain from making penalties and need to play with constant movement like vs Brentford or Manchester United.
I think we can win this game with result of 3:2 with one more goal of Brenan Johnson. There is international break after this game and it's important that we go there in good mood after win! Let's show how serious we are in match against serious team like Brighton is!
