Brighton vs Tottenham
Premier League 2018/19
Venue: Amex Stadium
Date: Saturday, 22 September
Kick-off time: 5:30pm BST

Mauricio Pochettino is under pressure to get Tottenham's season back on track as they head to Brighton off the back of a run of three straight defeats.

Tottenham beat Manchester United 3-0 at Old Trafford to spark early talk of a potential Premier League title challenge, but back-to-back losses against Watford and Liverpool hit Spurs' confidence.

Pochettino's men followed up those defeats with a 2-1 Champions League loss at Inter Milan - particularly damaging due to the fact that they led 1-0 in the final 10 minutes - and they must now pick themselves up for a trip to the south coast.
