Tottenham won the reverse fixture against Brighton 2-0 and have also beaten the Seagulls in the FA Cup this term. The last English club Spurs won three games against in a single season were Aston Villa in 2013-14.

Each of Brighton’s last three Premier League victories have come away from home. Meanwhile, the Seagulls are unbeaten in all five of their league games in London this season (W2 D3) – they last remained unbeaten in the capital across a full league campaign in 2016-17, while they’ve never managed to do so when playing at least five such games.
Tottenham are looking to win five consecutive Premier League games for the first time since December 2018. Having beaten Newcastle 5-1 and Aston Villa 4-0, Spurs could become just the fourth team to win three consecutive Premier League games by 4+ goals, after Aston Villa (April 2008), Chelsea (August 2010) and Manchester City (September 2017).
Tottenham’s Harry Kane has seven Premier League assists in 2022, the most of any player and two more than he registered in 36 games in 2021 (5).

Since Dejan Kulusevski’s first Premier League start for Spurs in February, no player has more Premier League assists than the Swede (6, level with Harry Kane). Kulusevski could become the first player to assist seven goals in his first 10 Premier League starts, with his six currently the joint-most.
Enock Mwepu has been involved in five goals in his last three Premier League starts for Brighton (1 goal, 4 assists), with the Seagulls winning all three games. Indeed, Brighton have won 50 per cent of their Premier League games the Zambian has started this season (4/8), compared to just 17 per cent when he hasn’t (4/23).
