TEAM NEWS

Tottenham keeper Hugo Lloris is expected to return against Brighton, having missed Saturday's defeat at Manchester City with a muscle injury.

But top scorer Harry Kane remains absent with an ankle problem.

Brighton midfielder Davy Propper will be assessed after suffering a hamstring issue at Wolves on Saturday.

Bruno was also withdrawn on Saturday but the captain's injury is thought to be less serious. Anthony Knockaert serves the last of a three-match ban.

WHAT THE MANAGERS SAY

Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino: "It is in our hands to be in the top four and the Champions League next season. Our next two games are decisive, if we can win them, it will depend on us.

"Now it is time to be strong and be competitive for Tuesday and take the three points."

Chris Hughton: "We are finding it hard to score. That is the next bit but if we can show that type of determination in all the games, we at least give ourselves a chance."

Going through the market on Skybet, I saw a 'Brighton Chances on goal' subsection.

I've stuck a pound on 'yes please' @ 33/1.

So, what does £1(how many noughts in billion) buy you in the new stadium market? Who will be the first to say 'not as good as the Amex'

We all know how the game will go and the outcome. Hats off to those still bothering to spend their hard earned cash travelling away

Son gets a timely reminder of how lucky he was to miss military service as Brighton’s revolutionary 10-0-0 formation spends 90 minutes marching up and down in front of their own goal.....

Like we did on Saturday?? Give them a chance.

Those of you lucky enough to have tickets to the game, do all of us who can't be there a favour and take lots of pictures. By all accounts the new stadium is breathtaking so would be great to see your pics and hear first hand your experiences of being there, and take it all in and enjoy the occassion.

What ?

Yes, no wonder we're in a bit of a hole, eh? I noticed this aberration on the BBC website last night - even if you include home matches as well as away, we've only lost 8 of the 10.
