Tottenham Hotspur are set to face Brighton on Saturday, with manager Thomas Frank hoping to maintain Spurs' strong start to the season. The Danish manager's team has secured victories in three of their first four matches. However, after gaining six points from Burnley and Manchester City, they suffered a surprising home defeat to Bournemouth. Despite this setback, Spurs managed to bounce back after the international break.
They triumphed over West Ham 3-0 and beat Villarreal 1-0 in their Champions League return midweek, marking Frank's team's first appearance in Europe's top competition since the 2022-23 season. On the other hand, Fabian Hurzeler's Brighton were defeated 2-1 by Bournemouth in their last game, despite having previously stunned Man City. The Seagulls did manage to thrash Championship side Oxford United 6-0 in the League Cup, but this followed a 2-0 loss at Everton and a last-minute draw against Fulham on the opening day.
Last season, Spurs were defeated twice by the Seagulls. Hurzeler's team also trounced them 4-1 in the final game of last season when Spurs were under the management of Ange Postecoglou, before he was sacked by the club.
