Tottenham Hotspur seemed to have turned things around, winning their past three matches, after having gone winless in the five matches previous. Entering the clash at Brighton they now sit fourth, and only four points from the top spot.
They are even back ahead of reigning treble winners Manchester City, although they have played one more game than the Sky Blues.

Tottenham have only the league, and coming up pretty soon, the FA Cup to concern themselves with, thus giving them an advantage over many of their opponents down the stretch of this fixture period here.
Brighton, playing European football for the first time ever in club history, are now experiencing the challenges that come with balancing additional competitions.
Anyway, here is who we think Ange Postecoglu will choose for his first team on Thursday night.
