Tottenham vs Brighton: is it on Sky Sports, BT Sport or Amazon? Kick-off time, referee and team news

Antonio Conte’s Tottenham celebrated a 2-0 Premier League win over Brighton at the Amex Stadium earlier this season

Albion were superb at the Emirates Stadium last weekend and put a huge damper on the Gunners’ top four hopes with a deserved 2-1 triumph.

Brighton’s win has certainly done Tottenham a huge favor as they propelled Mikel Arteta’s team into a Champions League spot following their emphatic 4-0 win at Aston Villa last Saturday.

11th in the league standings, Graham Potter’s Brighton are looking to end the campaign strong and meet their goal of a top 10 finish.

It would be quite a success for Brighton and a further three points in north London this weekend would put them on the path to their all-time Premier League result.

It will be another difficult challenge, however, as Antonio Conte’s Tottenham are in the best form they have shown all season, with attackers Harry Kane, Son Heung-min and Dejan Kulusevski in deadly form.

Kane and Son have been an established partnership for years but the arrival of Kulusevski from Juventus has taken them to another level.

Spurs are three points ahead of Arsenal, on goal difference, going into the last seven games of the season and although the Gunners have a game in hand, Spurs are favorites to finish in the top four.

Tottenham will be without Matt Doherty against Brighton on Saturday afternoon.

The defender is out for the season with a knee injury sustained in last week’s Aston Villa win.

Ryan Sessegnon is fit to start but Japhet Tanganga (knee) and Oliver Skipp (groin) are out.

Brighton boss Graham Potter will be without Shane Duffy and Steven Alzate on their trip to north London.

Midfielder Alzate is out due to illness while Duffy is absent from training with a long-term hamstring injury.

Adam Webster returned from a groin problem in last week’s 2-1 win over Arsenal and Potter confirmed he could be back but is not yet fit enough to start.

Provisional Tottenham squad: Lloris, Gollini, Emerson, Sanchez, Romero, Dier, Rodon, Davies, Sessegnon, Reguilon, Winks, Hojbjerg, Bergwijn, Moura, Kulusevski, Son, Scarlett, Kane.

Provisional Brighton squad: Sanchez, Steele, Lamptey, Cucurella, Dunk, Veltman, Offiah, Webster, Mac Allister, Bissouma, Mwepu, Lallana, Caicedo, Gross, March, Sarmiento, Trossard, Welbeck, Maupay.

The game starts at 12.30pm on Saturday 16 April at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Yes. The game will be broadcast live on BT Sport. Highlights will be shown at 10:30pm on BBC1’s Match of the Day.

Referee: Craig Pawson. Assistants: Ian Hussin, Dan Robathan. Fourth Official: Tony Harrington. VAR: Lee Mason. Assistant VAR: Constantine Hatzidakis.

The Spurs won 2-0 at the Amex Stadium on March 16 thanks to goals from Cristian Romero and Harry Kane.
