Tottenham v Brighton: Is it on Sky Sports, BT Sport or Amazon? kick-off time, referee and team news
Albion were excellent at the Emirates Stadium last weekend and placed a huge dent in the Gunners' top four hopes thanks to their deserved 2-1 triumph.
Brighton's victory certainly did Tottenham a huge favour as they have leap-frogged Mikel Arteta's team into a Champions League spot following their emphatic 4-0 win at Aston Villa last Saturday.

Hide AdGraham Potter's Brighton are 11th in the league standings and are keen to finish the campaign strongly and achieve their aim of a top 10 finish.
It would be quite an achievement for Brighton and another three points in North London this weekend would put them on track for their highest ever Premier League finish.
It will however be another difficult challenge as Antonio Conte's Tottenham are in the best form they have displayed all season, with attackers Harry Kane, Son Heung-min and Dejan Kulusevski in lethal form.
Kane and Son have been an establish partnership for years but the arrival of Kulusevski from Juventus has elevated them to another level.
