Brighton & Hove Albion vs Tottenham Hotspur live stream and match preview
Looking for a Brighton & Hove Albion vs Tottenham Hotspur live stream? We've got you covered.
Antonio Conte’s side suffered their first setback of the Premier League season last weekend, going down 3-1 to Arsenal in the north London derby. Tottenham turned in a flat performance at the Emirates Stadium, and their failure to beat Eintracht Frankfurt in the Champions League a few days later was another source of disappointment.
Spurs will therefore be desperate to get back on track this weekend. They are currently four points adrift of top spot and will not want to fall any further behind, particularly as Arsenal and Manchester City above them are both in fantastic form. Yet Tottenham’s all-round displays this season have not been particularly impressive, so there is clearly plenty of work to do for Conte and his coaching staff.
Brighton made a positive start to the Robert De Zerbi era, holding Liverpool to a 3-3 draw last weekend. It could have been even better for the Seagulls, who stormed into a 2-0 lead in the first half, but De Zerbi will have been pleased with the result. Brighton have also lost just one game this term and could climb above Tottenham and into third place with a win in this match.
Brighton will be unable to call upon the services of Jakub Moder, while Enock Mwepu is still working his way back from illness.
Tottenham Hotspur will have to make do without Dejan Kulusevski, Japhet Tanganga and Lucas Moura through injury, while Emerson Royal will serve a ban after his red card last weekend.

VPN guide
Use a VPN to watch Premier League football from outside your country
If you’re out of the country for a round of Premier League fixtures, then annoyingly your domestic on-demand services won’t work – the broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!). You'll be blocked from watching it, which is not ideal if you’ve paid up for a subscription and still want to catch the action without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.
But assistance is on hand. To get around that, all you have to do is get a Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs. A VPN creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and won't automatically block the service you've paid for. All the info going between is entirely encrypted – and that's a result.
There are plenty of good-value options out there, and FourFourTwo currently recommends:
