Tottenham will have a tough job tonight when they travel to Brighton. Despite three winless games in a row, Roberto de Zerbi’s Seagulls are a challenging nought to crack, with their offensive-oriented football.However, the critical issue for both tacticians will be overcoming their neverending list of injured players. In the meantime, Spurs’ boss Ange Postecoglou lost Christian Romero, too, who has strained his hamstring and will be out for four to five weeks. The other centre-back, Micky van de Ven, has been out of action for weeks. The Dutchman should return to the team on January 14 when Spurs visit Manchester United.🎙️Roberto De Zerbi on Ange Postecoglou: “I like him so much. When he speaks in press conferences or interviews, I like him a lot.” #BHAFCVia @AndyNaylorBHAFC pic.twitter.com/JS75UjiHj3— Owen (@owen_bhafc) December 27, 2023 Besides these two, Tottenham is also without Betancur, Perisic, Solomon, Sessegnon, and Maddison. Due to the red card, Bissouma is also out.On the other hand, De Zerbi is not counting on Mitoma and Adingra, who will be out for four to six weeks. The Japanese player has a wrist issue, while the Ivory Coast international is out with a hamstring problem.##NAJAVA_MECA_7765223##”We have ten injured players, while eight cannot play,” complained De Zerbi recently, thinking of his absentees: Ansu Fati, Tariq Lamptey, Adam Webster, Solly March, Julio Enciso and Jeol Veltman.ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE – MATCHDAY 19TuesdayNewcastle – Nott.Forest 1-3 (1-1)/Isak 24 pen – Wood 45+1, 53, 60/Bournemouth – Fulham 3-0 (1-0)/Kluivert 44, Solanke 62 pen, Sinisterra 90+3/Sheffield Utd – Luton 2-3 (0-1)/McBurnie 61, Ahmedhodzic 69 – Doughty 17, Robinson 77 og, Ben Slimane 81 og/Burnley – Liverpool 0-2 (0-1)/Darwin 6, Elliott 90/Man Utd – Aston Villa 3-2 (0-2)/Garnacho 60, 72, Hojlund 82 – McGinn 21, Dendoncker 26/WednesdayBrentford – Wolves 1-4 (1-3)/Wissa 16, Lemina 13, Hee-Chan 14, 28, Bellegarde 79/Chelsea – Crystal Palace 2-1 (1-1)/Mudryk 13, Madueke 89 pen – Olise 45+1/Everton – Manchester City 1-3 (1-0)/Harrison 29 – Foden 53, Alvarez 62 pen, Silva 86/Thursday22:30: (2.75) Brighton (3.60) Tottenham (2.60)23:15: (1.37) Arsenal (5.20) West Ham (10.0)***odds are subject to change***
