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

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.

Brighton will travel to the Champions League in the Premier League this weekend, chasing Tottenham

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.

However, it will be another extremely difficult challenge 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.

Brighton were bolstered last week with the return of Adam Lallana and Adam Webster. Both were introduced to Arsenal in the second half and their experience helped Albion take the three points.

Webster and Lallana will now be pushing for starting roles. Top scorer Neal Maupay is also hoping for a return to the starting XI after being eliminated in favor of the experienced Danny Welbeck in the Emirates win.

Jakub Moder remains sidelined with a severe cruciate ligament injury.

Tottenham manager Antonio Conte is expected to referee Saturday’s game against Brighton despite testing positive for Covid-19.

Conte tested positive over the weekend and, according to the Premier League side, has “distancing himself appropriately” to avoid spreading the virus.

Matt Doherty is a doubt for Spurs with a knee injury he picked up at Villa last week.

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.
