Tottenham Hotspur team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Brighton & Hove Albion

Tottenham Hotspur will aim to avoid a third-straight game without a win when they tackle Brighton & Hove Albion at the Amex Stadium in Saturday's Premier League contest.

Antonio Conte's side were held to a 0-0 draw by Eintracht Frankfurt in Tuesday's Champions League Group D clash after going down 3-1 to Arsenal in the North London derby.

The Lilywhites remain third in the Premier League table despite that loss at the Emirates, but they could now be leapfrogged by fourth-placed Brighton, who are only three points behind with a game in hand.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Tottenham Hotspur's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the clash with the Seagulls, who drew 3-3 with Liverpool last weekend in Roberto De Zerbi's first game in charge.
