TEAM NEWS

Brighton striker João Pedro will not feature on Sunday after a training ground altercation with team-mate Jan Paul van Hecke.

Fellow forward Georginio Rutter has failed to recover in time from the ankle ligament injury he suffered in March.

Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou could make wholesale changes after their Europa League success in midweek.

Lucas Bergvall, Dejan Kulusevski and James Maddison all missed Wednesday's final and will return next season.

MATCH FACTS

Head-to-head
  • Tottenham have won seven of their last eight home league games with Brighton, losing the other 1-0 in April 2022.
  • The Seagulls are vying to win consecutive league games against Spurs for the first time. They came from 2-0 down to win the reverse fixture 3-2.
  • The last four meetings have produced 17 goals at an average of 4.25 per match.
Tottenham
  • Tottenham ended a 17-year major trophy drought with victory in the Europa League final on Wednesday.
  • However, Spurs have failed to win all six home league games following a European fixture this season, drawing two and losing four.
  • They have won just one of the last 11 top-flight games, with that victory coming at home to bottom side Southampton in April.
  • Ange Postecoglou's side have taken 48 points from their past 46 league games.
  • Their last Premier League clean sheet came in a 1-0 home win over Manchester United 12 games ago.
  • The Lilywhites will finish in the bottom half of the table for the first time since they placed 11th in 2007-08, which was coincidentally the last time they won a major trophy.
  • Tottenham have only lost their final league fixture in one of the past 14 seasons (W11, D2), winning the last four by an aggregate score of 16-3.
Albion
  • Brighton are unbeaten in four top-flight games, winning three and drawing one.
  • They have lost their final league fixture in five of their seven Premier League campaigns, with the exceptions being a 2-1 win at Burnley in 2019-20 and a 3-1 victory over West Ham in 2021-22.
  • Fabian Hürzeler's side have scored at least twice in 10 of the last 13 Premier League games.
  • Seagulls substitutes have contributed 13 Premier League goals this season, with Kaoru Mitoma and Jack Hinshelwood both scoring from the bench against Liverpool on Monday. Only Fulham, with a Premier League record 17, have a better record this term.
  • Seventeen Brighton players have scored in the top flight this term, the most of any side.

Good luck Albion, go do your part and hopefully things fall into place with other results, be magic to see BHA on another European adventure.

i’l be overjoyed if we can put pay to Chelsea’s plans and open the door for Brighton.

After the game I’ll be keeping a low one on here but just want to say thanks for the interactions from you all this season, you lot have created a great forum atmosphere and act with class even with the enemy ( in footballing terms) oh yes and there’s a lot of great humour which has genuinely made me laugh heartily all season.

Think I might put some extra feed out this morning for the gulls 😉😍🙏.

It's only right being a Brighton fan that I'm nervous for today.

Spurs on the beach? Us odds on favourites? Yep, these are the banana skin games we so often end up losing (since forever, not specifically under FH).

It's the hope that kills you. My head knows this should be a good win and we will do our part to get Europe. But my poor heart has had too many years of heartache, and so I go into the game nervous.

I'll try to be confident and predict a good win for the boys though. Then we're all cheering on Forest and hoping for the best.

Don’t think anything about the match today can spoil the high that our last home game of the season gave me (unless we sustain a serious injury). Still so many ducks that need to be in a row for this match to get us into Europe so no real upset for me today if this turns out to be our usual banana skin performance against a team near the drop down zone. I’m done being angry, euphoric, frustrated and wowed this season.

I know FH will set up and go out to win this like every other match we’ve played this season and it’s not been too shabby either for the first PL season of a young, ex-2 Bundesliga manager.

I’m on the beach already so come on lads, only 3 points will drag me off it.
