Predicted Lineups
Tottenham Hotspur possible starting lineup:
Vicario; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie; Sarr, Hojbjerg; Kulusevski, Maddison, Son; Richarlison
Brighton & Hove Albion possible starting lineup:

With South Korea and Mali exiting the Asian Cup and Africa Cup of Nations, Tottenham Hotspur is poised to welcome back captain Son Heung-min and former Brighton player Yves Bissouma for their upcoming match against Brighton. Manager Postecoglou has confirmed their fitness to start.
There's a possibility that Giovani Lo Celso's thigh issue might resolve in time for his inclusion, but Ryan Sessegnon is likely to remain sidelined with a similar concern. Unfortunately, Manor Solomon's recovery from knee surgery has hit a snag, keeping him under the care of the medical team.
Son's return could threaten Timo Werner's position in the starting lineup, despite the latter's recent promising performances. Dejan Kulusevski is expected to reclaim his starting spot over Brennan Johnson, who had a brief outing in the previous match.
Brighton, on the other hand, anticipates the return of Japanese attacker Kaoru Mitoma from an ankle injury, which sidelined him for the final Asian Cup fixtures. However, winger Simon Adingra is set to represent Ivory Coast in the AFCON final against Nigeria.
Injuries continue to plague Brighton, with Julio Enciso, Solly March, Joel Veltman, James Milner (thigh), and Joao Pedro (hamstring) all unavailable. While on-loan Barcelona forward Ansu Fati returned from a calf injury as a late substitute in their previous victory, it's unlikely that manager De Zerbi, serving a touchline ban, will make significant alterations to the winning lineup, barring any necessary replacements for the injured players.
