WHAT THE MANAGERS SAY
Brighton manager Chris Hughton: "Generally if we've lost matches it's been by fine margins. We have to make sure that Saturday hasn't set us back. For us it's about being as solid as we can.
"We'll need to play well - we're at home and we know they play with a lot of possession. They've (Tottenham Hotspur) also had an outstanding year."
Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino: "After 14 games unbeaten, it was a massive, massive run for us. We played Liverpool, United, Arsenal, Chelsea and 14 games unbeaten I think the players deserve full credit.
"We are disappointed but not frustrated or sad because when we increased our level and showed our real quality we showed we can compete against Manchester City - the best team in England.
"That is why I am not concerned about the future."
